Orlando Train and Bus Accident Lawyer
The Orlando Transportation Authority can be held financially liable for injuries and fatalities that occur as a result of negligence on the part of bus drivers or Monorail engineers. As public transportation entities, both the Lynx bus line and the Monorail system investigate themselves when accidents involving their buses or trains occur. Additionally, since PIP and uninsured / underinsured coverage does not apply in these accidents, injury victims must try to use their own insurance or seek damages directly from the Orlando Transportation Authority. When faced with this difficult situation, you must establish negligence on the part of public transportation employees by conducting an independent and thorough investigation.
At the Law Office of Scott M. Miller, we work with experienced train and bus experts, safety consultants and accident investigators in exposing negligence on the part of Lynx and Monorail employees.

What Should I do if I've been injured on Metro Transit?
Investigators from the Orlando Transportation Authority or the Lynx bus line will most likely want to interview you. It is advisable to retain an attorney before making any statements. A skilled lawyer can help you avoid saying anything that could later be used to deny or minimize your claim. Even if you've already spoken to investigators, it's still important to contact a lawyer in order to begin an independent investigation into what actually happened.
In bus accidents, Lynx authorities require you to submit a report verifying that you were a passenger on a Lynx bus during the collision or injury accident. Our office can help you track down witnesses and provide evidence to substantiate your passenger status. Please note that while there is a one year statute of limitations on filing a claim, witnesses, employees and evidence can still be difficult to track down if you wait too long to initiate your case.
