The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (or DART) has 45 miles of light rail track, makes 12,322 stops, and has a fleet of nearly 800 vehicles. With an operation of this size, accidents involving these vehicles are all too common. If you have been injured in an accident involving a DART vehicle, our Dallas personal injury attorneys are here to help.
In an accident involving a collision between a DART vehicle and a passenger car, the passengers on the DART are often injured. As a victim in this case, filing a claim can be a very complicated process. You probably aren’t the only person who was injured. If there were many other victims, the defendant’s insurance policy probably cannot fairly compensate everyone. In this case, you need an experienced accident attorney to make sure your claim is prioritized and to identify other sources of potential compensation.
You might also have been injured by the DART vehicle itself. You might have been hit by the vehicle, the automatic door might have malfunctioned and injured you in some way, or perhaps the driver simply started moving before you were seated.
In any case, these claims are difficult because the defendant in these cases is the city of Dallas. The laws surrounding injuries sustained by DART vehicles were written by Dallas legislators primarily to save the city money. Your case will be heard in a Dallas courtroom. In other words, it’s a rigged game to begin with. You need a team of experienced attorneys in order to stand a fighting chance against this sort of bias.
To complicate things even further, DART is covered by a commercial insurance policy and it is this insurance carrier who will ultimately be the one to pay your damages. These carriers employ the most aggressive and experienced insurance adjusters in the business, along with a team of expert defense attorneys whose sole job is to deny claims just like yours. Insurance claims are accepted or denied based on the internal protocols designed by the insurance carrier. Again, the deck is stacked against you.
In order to win a case against these odds, you need your own team of experts. The attorneys at Grossman Law Offices have been fighting against these overwhelming odds for twenty years and we can help you with your injuries caused by an accident with a DART bus or train.
