Public and private bus companies, taxi companies and transit trains operating in the Central Valley and throughout Northern California have a legal responsibility to offer the public every reasonable protection of their safety. If you were injured while boarding or riding public transportation or mass transit, or in an accident involving a public transportation vehicle, you may have a legitimate claim to seek full and fair compensation from the governing authority or insurance company covering the private company.

Time Is a Factor
