Bus/Train Accidents

Many people in Missouri and Illinois rely on mass transit for their transportation needs. Bi-State buses, MetroLink light rail and Amtrak take people to work, to the ballpark and on sightseeing tours of area attractions―but an accident can end the trip in tragedy. The lawyers of The Lowe Law Firm can help.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, more than 11,000 buses were involved in crashes during 2006. Of that number, 299 of the collisions were fatal and more than 6,000 resulted in injuries.

Because trains and buses are common carriers, the companies and their drivers and conductors owe a high degree of responsibility for transporting each passenger in a safe manner. A transit company that fails to fulfill this responsibility may be required to compensate victims for their injuries.

If you have been injured or a loved one has been injured or killed in an accident involving a common carrier, please contact our attorneys for legal assistance as soon as possible. We will investigate to determine whether the bus, train, driver or conductor was responsible for causing the accident.

The lawyers of The Lowe Law Firm are experienced in helping victims of bus and train accidents. We will seek compensation for past and future medical expenses, past and future wages, pain and suffering, disability and other damages. We also represent family members in wrongful death cases.
