Metro Accident Lawyer

Metro accidents happen far more than we may realize. Although they may not occur as frequently as car accidents, they certainly happen and when they do they consequences can be fatal. When you step onto the Metro, you are primarily trusting the driver and the Metro company to ensure your safety throughout your travels from point A to point B. You should not have to worry about getting into an accident along your ride and you especially shouldn’t have to worry about getting a major injury along your route. While most Metro rides go as according to plan, there are always exceptions. In the cases where Metro accidents do occur, it is important to know all the facts to better inform you when you hire legal counsel to aid your case. If you or someone you know has been a victim of a Metro accident, it may be in your best interest to reach out to Cohen & Cohen, a trusted law firm serving Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and surrounding areas, which specializes in Metro accidents.

Americans ride the Metro in high numbers all across the country. Washington DC, for example, houses the third most frequently used rapid transport companies, the Washington Metro. Every year, there are upwards of 229,595,000 riders. This is a massive number of Metro users that all trust that the Metro will efficiently and safely transport them from place to place. When this doesn’t happen, however, the consequences are grave.

Every Metro accident case is different. There are a wide variety of elements that go into ensuring your safety every time you ride the Metro, ranging from the driver’s attentiveness to the very manufacturing and mechanics of the Metro. While there are few uncontrollable factors, most Metro accidents can be avoided. Those that do occur are often a result of some degree of negligence on the part of the Metro company. Some of the most common causes of Metro accidents include (but are not limited to):

Driver fatigue
Malfunctioning Metro equipment
Driver under the influence of alcohol and other drug-related substances
Collisions with other Metros
Collisions with other automobiles
Track worker accidents
Derailment of Metro car

Regardless of the cause of the accident, any injury you suffer as a direct result of a Metro accident should be compensated for. Injuries can be emotionally difficult, and they can also cause a serious amount of legal and financial complications. One of the most challenging aspects of dealing with an injury, whether it be a head injury or spinal cord damage, is trying to deal with the mounting medical expenses that come with proper treatment. It should come as no surprise that the American medical system is costly, and poses an economic burden on most victims and their families. It is the responsibility of the Metro companies to pay you your fair compensation.

If you or someone you love is a victim of a Metro accident, do not hesitate to reach out to Cohen & Cohen and we will be more than happy to set you up with an experienced Metro accident lawyer on our team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ms. Skibicki handled my uninsured motorist claim exceptionally well. She understood the importance of balancing justice and compensation from those involved in the dispute. She fought for a fair settlement and genuinely listened to my concerns and complaints about the process, showing empathy throughout.

She thoughtfully explained the pros and cons of pursuing further litigation if I was not satisfied with the offer, and she gave me ample time to make a decision that felt right for my situation. I never felt pressured to accept an offer that didn’t meet my needs. If I need legal assistance again, I would choose Cohen and Cohen and specifically request Ms. Skibicki as my attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I retained Cohen & Cohen after I was struck by a car and fractured my spine. Adam was kind, knowledgeable and truly an advocate throughout the entire settlement process. He was incredibly responsive to my calls, emails and texts, and always took the time to explain how parts of the admittedly complex process worked with insurance, etc. Adam was able to secure a settlement of the offender's maximum policy limit, and the process was completed within a year. 10/10 recommend!

I highly recommend Cohen & Cohen to anyone seeking a personal injury or accident attorney. If you want experienced legal representation, exceptional client service, and a team that truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for you, this is the firm to choose. Thank you, Nicole and the entire Cohen & Cohen team, for your dedication and outstanding work!
