Philadelphia mass transit accidents may be more likely than you think

Accidents involving buses, trains, and other mass transit vehicles occur less frequently than car accidents. Regardless, mass transit accidents can cause serious damage. To understand why to consider the following factors:

  • Vehicle size: Mass transit vehicles are much larger than cars. So, when a mass transit vehicle is involved in an accident, the damage it causes may be far greater than that associated with a car accident.
  • Speed: A mass transit vehicle provides a fast and efficient mode of transportation. However, trains and other mass transit vehicles can travel faster than cars. When traveling at top speeds, the operator of the vehicle may have trouble stopping quickly. This can lead to a major accident.
  • Seat Belts Optional: People are required by law to wear a seat belt any time they travel in a car. Comparatively, seat belts are optional or unavailable on mass transit vehicles. This means an individual will not have the same level of protection in a mass transit vehicle that he or she would have driven in a car. And, if a mass transit accident occurs, an individual may be susceptible to severe injuries to the head, neck, and other parts of the body.

There are only so many precautions that can be taken while traveling via mass transit in Philadelphia. Even if the operator uses appropriate safety measures, an accident can still happen. Yet, if an accident occurs due to the operator’s negligence or vehicle issues, passengers and others affected by it may be eligible for financial compensation.
