Legal Action for Bus and Train Accident Victims in South Florida
For the most part, mass transit is one of the safest ways to get from place to place in South Florida—but, as you may have learned first-hand recently, accidents and injuries do happen on buses and trains as well as on our roadways. In other situations, drivers and passengers in other motor vehicles—as well as pedestrians and bicyclists—are struck at unsafe railroad crossings or hit by buses.
If you or a family member has been hurt in an accident involving a city bus, school bus, Greyhound bus, tour bus, an Amtrak or other train, or another "common carrier" as they are called in our laws, please contact us now at the Coral Springs law firm of Cindy A. Goldstein, P.A.
Prepared to Take Action Against a Negligent Government Entity or Company
A higher standard for protecting your safety may apply to bus companies, limousine companies, railroad companies and others classified as common carriers than to an individual driver of a car or truck. Despite this standard, however, you may have fallen victim to negligence in the form of:
- Inadequate inspection and/or maintenance of a bus or train and critical parts
- An inattentive, poorly trained or unqualified driver/operator
- An operator under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or one with a poor safety record
Personal injury and wrongful death attorney Cindy A. Goldstein has successfully recovered compensation in legal actions against municipalities and well-resourced companies. A member of the Florida Justice Association, she can also call in other lawyers with experience relevant to your case if necessary.

A train or bus accident can be catastrophic or cause severe injuries, with the lack of restraints for passengers, flying debris, the sheer weight of vehicles involved, and other factors. Depending on circumstances, injuries incurred in a train or bus accident may justify taking forceful legal action to help you recover physically and financially.
