You have legal rights to compensation if you’ve been injured in an MBTA bus accident. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is a common carrier, meaning they can be held accountable when a driver’s negligence, carelessness, or recklessness injures passengers or other motorists like you. Although you have the right to collect money for MBTA bus accident injuries, budget constraints can cause settlement money to be delayed until the MBTA receives funding from the state government. At Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, we’ll do everything we can to get you compensation as fast as possible. Our MBTA accident attorneys have years of experience fighting for the rights of bus and subway accident victims, and we want to help you, too. Fill out our free online form or give us a call anytime at (800) 577-5188.

Types of injuries that often result from MBTA bus and subway accidents include:

• Back injuries
• Broken bones
• Lacerations
• Muscle and tendon tears
• Neck injuries
• Open or closed head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries
• Scarring
• Severe muscle sprains or strains

If you’ve been injured in a bus or subway accident, seek medical treatment immediately. Taking this step can help prevent your injuries from worsening, and the medical records from your doctor’s visit can serve as valuable evidence of your injuries when you file an injury claim.

You must provide written notice of your bus accident claim to the MBTA general manager, via certified mail, return receipt requested, within two years of the date of your accident. Failure to provide notice can jeopardize your legal rights to compensation for your injuries. At Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, we can help you prepare, send, and retain evidence of your notice of claim after a bus accident.

Incident reports can help your attorney prove where, when, and how your accident happened. In some cases, local police may file a bus accident report at the scene of the crash. The MBTA also prepares an incident report. If you’re in a bus or subway accident, provide your name and contact information to the driver and police at the scene. If possible, try to get your driver’s contact information as well.

Yes.
The MBTA is exempt from providing PIP—or coverage for accident-related medical expenses—to bus accident victims. The MBTA is self-insured, which means it’s not required to comply with state laws requiring compulsory PIP coverage. However, you may be entitled to PIP through:

• your own auto insurance policy,
• auto insurance policies held by members of your household,
• or the Massachusetts Assigned Claims Plan.

Our bus and subway accident lawyers can investigate your claim and help you get the compensation you need to cover the costs and effects of your injuries.

When you’ve been injured in an MBTA accident, having an MBTA accident attorney on your side could mean the difference between winning or losing your claim.
