Were You Involved in a Common Carrier Accident?
Common carriers such as buses, railroads, airlines, cruise ships, and some trucking companies have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their passengers as well as the drivers and passengers of vehicles they share the road with. When common carriers fail to take the utmost care in ensuring safety, the results can be tragic.

Helping Victims Of Injury-Causing Incidents On California Common Carriers
Common carriers are liable for any injuries or damages that could have been avoided if they had taken the utmost care to ensure safety. Taking the utmost care includes actions such as:
- Properly inspecting and maintaining equipment
- Driving safely according to the rules of the road
- Dropping off passengers at safe destinations
- Protecting passengers from dangerous passengers
- Warning passengers of possible dangers (e.g., buses without seatbelts)
There is a strict deadline for filing common carrier claims, so it is crucial to speak to a lawyer about your situation as soon as possible to ensure that you will be able to bring a claim for your losses.
