Silverlake MTA Crash Injuries 19 Passengers
On
November 7, 2009 a Metropolitan Transportation Authority or MTA bus
crashed into a a vehicle in Silver Lake California. Apparently as many
as 19 people were injured according to news reports and one critically
injured. Los Angeles police are still investigating why this bus
accident happened. We send our condolences to the injured and their
families and we wish a speedy recovery.
Bus accidents happen
every day in California. Bus accidents can cause very serious personal
injuries including death. Bus riders do not have any restraints, so
upon collision with another vehicle riders will be propelled through
the bus at high velocity, which can result in serious injuries.
Another
significant aspect of major bus accidents is most accidents involve a
government entity- The city Bus organization or in this case the MTA.
Certain procedures are required when filing a claim against a city
agency and many times the government claim must be filed within six
months.
