Public Transportation Injury Attorney in San Diego, CA

In a city like San Diego, buses, trolleys, and trains are essential for getting around. While public transportation is generally considered safe, accidents do happen—and when they do, the consequences can be serious. If you’ve been injured while riding public transportation or struck by a transit vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation. At Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC, we help injured passengers and pedestrians hold transit authorities and third parties accountable for their negligence.

Common Causes of Public Transit Injuries

Public transportation injuries can happen in various ways. You may be hurt while boarding, riding, or exiting a bus or trolley, or as a pedestrian or cyclist struck by a transit vehicle. Common causes include:

  • Sudden stops or turns causing falls
  • Poorly maintained vehicles
  • Driver negligence or distraction
  • Failure to follow safety procedures
  • Defective equipment or design flaws
  • Slippery bus floors or unsafe stations
  • Collisions with other vehicles or objects

Our firm carefully investigates the circumstances of your injury to determine who is at fault and how the incident could have been prevented.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

In public transportation injury cases, liability is often more complex than in standard auto accidents. The responsible party could be a city or county transit agency, a private contractor, or even a third-party driver. These cases often involve claims against government entities, which require compliance with strict deadlines and procedures.

Attorney Scott M. Blumen has the experience to handle these challenging cases. We ensure all necessary documentation is filed on time and that your claim meets California’s legal standards for pursuing damages against public agencies.

The Full Value of Your Claim

Injuries from public transportation accidents can range from minor to life-altering. Victims may suffer broken bones, head trauma, spinal cord injuries, or internal damage. These injuries can result in high medical costs, lost wages, and long-term rehabilitation. We seek full compensation for:

  • Emergency and ongoing medical expenses
  • Lost income and reduced earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Physical impairment or disability
  • Emotional distress and trauma

Our goal is to build a strong, evidence-based case that supports the full extent of your losses.
