Bus and Train Injuries

Los Angeles Public Transportation Injury Attorney

I Fight for Your Rights in an L.A. Bus Crash or Train Injury

I am a veteran trial lawyer with demonstrated results in personal injury claims against the Metro Transit Authority of Los Angeles (MTA) and private bus companies in the greater L.A. area.

Free Consultation • L.A. and Southern California • 866-920-8376

If you were injured in a crash with a public transportation vehicle, or seriously hurt while boarding, riding, or leaving a bus or Metro light rail train, contact the Law Office of Marvin S. Lanter. I have handled a variety of claims in 30 years of practice:

  • Auto collisions with an MTA bus
  • Pedestrians or bicyclists struck by a bus
  • Injuries from falls, sudden stops or closing bus doors
  • Platform or bus stop injury
  • Private bus, shuttle van, or taxi injury

Government Tort Claims

Aggressive action by a knowledgeable attorney is important in these cases. I try to get to the accident scene or send investigators, to gather evidence and witness statements. Suing a government agency (e.g. the MTA) presents many challenges:

  • Short filing window — You must bring a claim within six months of the incident.
  • Special filing requirements — Government tort claims can be rejected if not properly submitted.
  • Jury bias — Jurors don't like to award claims against the Metro or MTA; they think their taxes will go up.

I fight aggressively in insurance negotiations or at trial to get the maximum compensation available. Contact me today for a free case evaluation at 866-920-8376. I can come to your home or hospital or arrange evening or weekend appointments.
