Why Put Your Trust In The Brod Law Firm For Your SEPTA Accident Case?

How do I get My Medical Bills Paid If I'm a Passenger on SEPTA?

Common carriers such as buses, taxis, trains and paratransit vehicles owe their passengers the highest duty of care. A rider on a SEPTA vehicle is owed the highest duty of care under the law governing common carriers. Public transportation is generally a very safe means of travel but collisions can involve serious injuries because of the lack of restraints or seatbelts. When one is a passenger involved in a SEPTA bus or transit accident, the medical bills would be covered by SEPTA if that person did not own a motor vehicle or did not live in a household with a relative who owned a car. This differs from being a trolley rider wherein the rider must pay for treatment of injuries directly with his or her medical insurance. The medical expenses can become very expensive for injured SEPTA riders, which is why The Brod Law Firm in Philadelphia employs SEPTA accident attorneys that work hard to recover damages from SEPTA.

SEPTA Accident FAQ: The bus stopped suddenly and I was injured do I have a case for pain and suffering? It depends on the circumstances. Was there a collision with another vehicle?

Answer: If there was a collision with an object or vehicle, Probably. If there was no collision it depends upon the speed of the Septa bus, trolley or train and the force of the so called jolt. There is a special law when it comes to SEPTA claims without definite evidence of a crash and the bar is raised higher for obtaining an injury settlement. In order to limit lawsuits against SEPTA in those circumstances the "jerk and jolt" case law developed. In other words a Septa accident victim must prove that the jerk and jolt was unusual and extraordinary to recover money for pain and suffering from SEPTA.

Checklist for what to do after your SEPTA accident:

Take note of where you were seated on the SEPTA vehicle.
You should be given an information card to fill out after the accident and keep a copy.
IMPORTANT: If not, you must ask for a card so as to document you were present and injured.
Take note of the exact location and time of accident and where you were picked up and discharged.
Write down the Route and Bus number.
Make a mental note of the name and description of the SEPTA operator.
Helpful Tip: If you can get names and telephone numbers of others injured~they can be crucial witnesses later on.
If you feel you were injured it is best to seek medical care immediately by being transported to the hospital.
Do not speak to anyone or give any statements after this point and contact experienced legal counsel.
