MBTA Accidents and Injuries
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, also known as MBTA, or simply "The T", was established in 1964 as the official public transit system in the greater Boston, Massachusetts area. The MBTA operates most of the bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in Boston and the surrounding cities.
MBTA Accidents
The MBTA is essential for commuters, but regardless of whether you use the MBTA for your daily commute or only once in a while, the potential risk of injury is always there.
We have heard of many MBTA accidents in the past, including trolley accidents, bus collisions with passenger cars, pedestrian accidents involving MBTA buses or trains, and so on.
The most recent MBTA accidents involved a pedestrian getting struck and killed by an oncoming MBTA train at the Wollaston Station in Quincy on June 6, and an MBTA bus collision with an SUV in Milton, which left 8 people injured, one including a head injury.
Injuries on MBTA Premises
Often, personal injuries are a result of any accidents that occurred on MBTA premises due to unsafe conditions. The MBTA can be held liable for these types of MBTA injuries.
Premises on which unsafe conditions can occur include:
- buses, trains, or ferries,
- bus or train stations,
- station platforms,
- station stairs, doors, elevators, stairwells, egresses, entryways, and exits.
If your injuries occurred on MBTA premises due to conditions which the MBTA could have prevented, consult with our experienced personal injury attorneys about your legal rights and options.
