St. Petersburg PSTA & HART Injury Lawyers
Large, dangerous and difficult to maneuver, Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg city buses have been involved in some of the worst accidents in the area. Whether you were injured when your bus driver stopped short or you were in a vehicle struck by a PSTA or HART bus, you are eligible for compensation from the city for your injuries.
At the law offices of Fiol Law Group, our Tampa bus accident attorneys protect the rights of all personal injury victims. With extensive trial experience, we are not afraid to take on municipalities and private organizations that are liable for damages in bus accidents. We will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident and explore all your recovery options.
A Place for Victims to Turn After a Bus Accident
Most Tampa and St. Petersburg city buses have cameras inside of them. Our first step is to make sure the city does not dispose of this valuable evidence. In most cases, there are also witnesses on the bus and on the street. The city will conduct its own investigation in order to avoid liability and protect its own interests. You want an experienced lawyer on your side, conducting an independent investigation and leveling the playing field.
With extensive experience protecting personal injury victims across Florida, we are prepared to handle bus accidents involving a number of factors, including:
- Bus hits another vehicle
- Stopping bus quickly causing a slip-and-fall onboard
- Hitting a pothole too quickly
Bus Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries
Bus riders do not have seat belts, which means hip fractures, neck injuries and other serious ailments are common, even in small accidents. Due to the size discrepancy between city buses and cars on the road, the drivers of other vehicles struck by buses are at serious risk to suffer catastrophic and fatal injuries.
Whatever caused the bus accident, you want to do everything you can to protect your rights and get the compensation you deserve. We handle all cases on a contingency basis, so there is no cost to you. Contact our Tampa offices today to schedule a free initial consultation.
