Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWire) -- 09/27/2016 --While public transportation operators are largely competent and well trained, given the proliferation of vehicles operating on roadways and railways (namely busses and trains), accidents are still a regular occurrence. And many of the victims of those train and bus crashes and derailments struggle to receive full compensation for their injuries when faced against the heavily bureaucratic organizations that are responsible. The team at Rizio, Hamilton & Kane, P.C., Philadelphia's limited tort lawyers, helps those victims fight agencies like SEPTA and Amtrak for the funds to which they are entitled.

"You don't necessarily hear about bus and train accidents as often as general car crashes, but they are prevalent," said Rizio, Hamilton & Kane, P.C. partner, Michael Kane. Take the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis's 2015 statistics, for example. That year, there were nearly 6,000 reported accidents, leading to 383 fatalities and over 4,500 nonfatal injuries on railways.

And the bus accident numbers are even grimmer. According to the United States Department of Transportation, there were 69,000 bus crashes in 2014, the last for which data is available.

Rizio, Hamilton & Kane, P.C. is urging victims of public transportation accidents to touch base and discuss their rights. The team of attorneys there is well-qualified to assist injured people in pursuing their best courses of legal action post-mishap.
