Nashville Mass Transit/Public Transportation Accident Attorneys


Guiding the Injured Harmed in Public Transportation Incidents

The Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) is the public transportation agency in the city that is responsible for maintaining and providing city buses and the paratransit system for both Nashville and Davidson County. While there is no doubt that taking a public bus in Nashville is one of the more affordable, convenient, and responsible ways to travel, public transportation vehicles and their operators are equally as vulnerable to accidents caused by acts of negligence as are other vehicles on the road.

If you are involved in an accident involving a public transportation vehicle, our attorneys can help you. To learn more about what to do after an accident involving mass transit, call the offices of Bednarz Law for your free consultation today.

Top Causes of Public Transportation Bus Accidents

Bus accidents almost always occur because of an act of negligence or recklessness, both of which are preventable acts of fault. Examples of fault that could lead to a crash include:

Liability for a bus accident is dependent upon whose fault the accident was. If you are involved in a bus accident, our attorneys will investigate the crash on your behalf to determine who should be held liable for damages you have suffered.

Can I File a Claim Against the Nashville MTA?

If a private party is liable for the damages you have suffered, such as the third-party driver of a vehicle, or a manufacturer of a defective bus part, then you will file a claim directly against this third party. However, if you are filing a claim against the Nashville MTA, there is an additional step that you must take: filing a notice of claim. If the MTA denies your claim (i.e. refuses to pay your demanded compensation amount), you will then have the right to pursue a lawsuit and bring your case to court.
