Burnett & Williams - Personal Injury Lawyers

Accidents Involving Ferries, Elevators and Other Forms of Public Transportation

The popularity and increased ridership of our public transportation network has been encouraged by governments, environmentalists, and economists alike.  As a result, there has been an increase in accidents and injuries on all modes of public transport including ferries, taxis, even elevators and escalators. Public transportation providers are liable for safe practices and consistent maintenance. It is incumbent upon the owners and operators of these forms of transportation to exercise cautious and safe practices at all times and riders must obey their rules and regulations. Unfortunately, devastating accidents do occur and often result in serious and life threatening injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured on a “common carrier” or other form of public transportation, please call Burnett & Williams at 703-777-1650.
