Injured in a Train or Bus Accident? Call an Ohio RTA Accident Attorney.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is responsible for providing nearly 50 million passenger trips a year for more than 1.3 million people. Bus and rail lines extend over 458 square miles, bringing service to 59 municipalities throughout Northern Ohio. The Greater Cleveland RTA has the responsibility of vehicle and track repairs and maintenance, as well as providing safe shelter and locations for passengers embarking and disembarking the vehicle. The RTA is also charged with ensuring safe passage, including protection from assault, robbery and accidents occurring en route.
If you were injured while boarding, riding, or disembarking a bus or train operated by the Greater Cleveland RTA, you have the right to seek full and fair compensation for your medical treatment, lost earnings and emotional harm caused by your injuries. Depending upon the circumstances of your accident or incident, you may also be entitled to receive significant punitive damages.
Successfully suing a government entity like the RTA requires a willingness to stand up and fight against a well-funded, and well-oiled legal defense machine. It also requires the resources and experience to stay in the fight for the long-haul. Municipal entities protect themselves from lawsuits by enacting and enforcing so-called sovereign immunity laws. In cases where a plaintiff can show gross negligence or willful neglect for public safety, government entities like the RTA can be held liable for compensating victims of injury and wrongful death.
