Ontario residents are served by several major public transportation companies that provide a safe and reliable service to thousands of people each day. Trains, buses, subways, and streetcars carry Ontario residents to and from school, work, and leisure activities. Unfortunately, accidents involving transit vehicles and accidents on transit properties are a common occurrence; because the injuries sustained by riders can be quite severe, speaking to an experienced personal injury lawyer is extremely important in the event of an accident.
Typically, public transportation accident claims are comprised of numerous components, each presenting unique challenges that can make navigating the claim process extremely confusing. Filing a successful injury claim against a major transit operator such as GO Transit or TTC without an experienced personal injury lawyer is not only challenging but risky as well. Transit operator legal departments may attempt to trick injured victims into accepting significantly lower compensation than they truly deserve and/or signing documents that would prevent the victims from filing any further claims in the event of further injuries surfacing at a later time.
