When encountering an injury related to mass public transit, the lawyers at Ask4SAM in New York City are well equipped to handle victims cases and will take the measures needed to get the compensation their clients deserve

It is odd to think that with the world advancing at such an exponential rate, and with innovation at its peak, it is still facing the major problem that is accidents in mass transport. A study from 2010 found that the bus occupant fatality rate equaled 251 deaths per 100,000 while nearly 1,000 people are killed each year in train related accidents. Accidents from these huge vehicles injure not only the passengers inside, but pedestrians on the railway as well. When someone is unfortunate enough to have encountered an accident like this, it is best to have an injury law firm in hand who can help them with their legal as well as their financial needs.

Despite there being a slight decline of accidents related to public transport, there is still some degree of regularity in its occurrence. The majority of the population in New York City still relies on public transportation on a regular basis as it is the most convenient way to get around. And even with the rate that public transport is advancing and working to increase its security, accidents are most often caused by human intelligence. This is one of the many factors that make these types of cases complicated. Common causes that lead to train accidents include train derailment, operator error, mechanical errors, falls from platforms, collisions, improper maintenance, electrocutions, and lack of security. A majority of the causes are due to the company or a person within the company having overlooked an aspect that led to the accident. The involvement of these parties and getting to the bottom of the case is what the attorneys at Silberstein, Awad & Miklos specialize in.

A few ways that an accident lawyer will handle the case are to defend their clients against the claims of the negligent party that the accident victim was at fault, collect evidence to support the claim of their client, evaluate the case and negotiate with all parties involved on who to be held accountable for the compensation of the accident victim. This not only applies to passengers but to pedestrians as well, as in a lot of cases pedestrians on the road or on the railway suffer injuries from bus and train accidents as well.

When contacting Ask4SAM, the consultation is absolutely free and they do not require payment upfront, instead they advise their clients the options they can take and the next steps moving forward that will lead to the most effective solution for their problems and what can offer the best compensation. While the mass public transit industry is working on reducing the accidents that occur every year and increasing the safety in these vehicles, it is important to have a law firm that is prepared for the accidents that are related with mass transport.
