Hire An Experienced Los Angeles MTA Accident Attorney
While the Los Angeles County MTA has implemented many safety features, there continues to be many Metro accidents each year. Metro Bus Accidents and Metro Rail Accidents are unique from other automobile accidents due to the size and weight of the Metro Buses and Metro Trains. Cars and pedestrians hit by a MTA bus or MTA Train are more likely to suffer serious or even life threatening injuries. Metro Passengers are equally at risk because they may get thrown around the passenger compartment leading to serious injuries.
When a MTA accident occurs, there is almost always an on scene investigation of the Metro accident by the supervisors. However, it is important for the injured bus-riders to promptly hire an attorney to conduct an independent investigation of the Metro collision. People injured in a Metro bus accident need to understand that the investigators and even the police that respond to the Metro train accidents often work for the same government entity that operates the Metro Buses, Trains, and Subway.

Occasionally, the Metro Rapid Buses are operated or maintained by third-parties under contract or other transportation providers, who may also be liable for the Metro Accident.
