Pennsylvania Public Transportation Accident Lawyers
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) provides public transportation to millions of people throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding communities by commuter train, subway, rail, trolley, bus and paratransit. For most people, taking a bus is an everyday act without much risk of injury. When SEPTA accidents occur, however, they can result in serious and life-threatening injuries for victims.

Our attorneys have more than 20 years of experience in personal injury claims and are familiar with handling SEPTA accident cases.

Limits to Compensation in SEPTA Accident Cases
As with any mass transit system, accidents will occur due to negligence, misconduct, inclement weather and other conditions. Victims of these accidents often require large amounts of compensation but the law in the state of Pennsylvania limits the amount of recovery benefits that are available to victims.
Regardless of the number of accident victims, SEPTA damages in a crash are limited to $250,000 in favor of a single claim and $1,000,000 total per accident. Once the $1,000,000 limit has been reached, no additional claims may be paid, even if there are additional victims who remain uncompensated. You need to talk with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your claim is considered for compensation.
Not just any personal injury attorney is familiar with the laws and regulations regarding SEPTA accidents. We understand the limitations in your case and how to work within the law to protect the rights of our clients.
