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.

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.
