Public Transit Accidents in Los Angeles: Your Path to Justice

Public transportation, like Go Metro, is a convenient and eco-friendly way to navigate Greater Los Angeles while reducing traffic congestion. However, with millions of annual riders and over a billion total passenger miles, accidents are bound to happen.

If you or a loved one has been injured—or worse, lost their life—in an LA Metro bus accident, you have the right to seek compensation. Pacific Coast Injury Law Center is here to guide you through the legal process and ensure you get the justice you deserve.

Legal Challenges in Suing the LACMTA

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (LACMTA) is a public entity, which means it falls under the California Tort Claims Act (Gov. Code § 810 et al.). This law has strict requirements that must be met before filing a lawsuit. Any mistake can result in your claim being denied.

With Pacific Coast Injury Law Center on your side, you won’t have to navigate these complex legal hurdles alone. We have the experience and dedication needed to handle cases against large public entities like LACMTA and their aggressive defense teams.

Steps to Take After an LA Metro Accident

If you are involved in a public transit accident, time is of the essence. The legal process includes:

• Filing a written claim within six (6) months of the accident.
• Understanding your options after a claim is denied, rejected, or accepted—or if there is no response. 
• Filing a lawsuit within one (1) year if your claim is denied.

Our team will meticulously investigate the accident, gather necessary evidence, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• Medical Expenses & Treatment: Covering hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.

• Lost Wages & Future Earnings: Compensation for time away from work and potential future income loss.

• Pain, Suffering, & Emotional Distress: Damages for the mental and physical impact of the accident.

• Property Damage: Reimbursement for damaged personal property, such as vehicles or belongings.

• Punitive Damages: If negligence was extreme, additional compensation may be awarded.
