❓ Can I be compensated for lost income if I am self-employed?
Yes - use tax records, contracts, and expert analysis to quantify loss; credibility and documentation are key.
❓ Out of State Accidents and Out of State Clients
Jurisdiction/venue may differ; local co-counsel is common. Your policy typically follows you across states.
❓ Underinsured Motorist and Medpay Injury Offset Question
Policy language and state law control; med-pay may offset UIM in some states. We analyze and fight improper offsets.

❓ If I am a driver of a vehicle that is involved in a bus collision, whom can I sue?
The bus driver/company or transit authority, negligent third-party drivers, maintenance contractors, and occasionally product manufacturers for defects - subject to comparative fault and any government immunities.
❓ If I am injured or a loved one is killed while a passenger on a bus, whom can I sue for my losses?
Typically the bus company/driver (common carrier), any negligent third-party motorists, maintenance contractors, and sometimes manufacturers; public-entity buses trigger special notice rules.
❓ Do I have to file a claim for recovery within a certain time period?
Yes. Statutes of limitations vary by state (often 1-3 years), and claims against public entities usually require a formal notice within a short window (often 30-180 days). Minors may have tolled deadlines.

❓ If I Am Injured While A Passenger On A Train or Light Rail Transit Vehicle and I am injured or my loved ones are killed, Is The Railroad Company and/or Light Rail Transit Company Liable?
Common carriers owe passengers a high duty of care. If the operator's negligence contributed (e.g., unsafe speed, poor maintenance, signal violations), the carrier can be liable; third parties (like motorists) may also share responsibility.
❓ Do I need to retain an attorney?
Yes. Rail cases involve complex federal/state rules, multiple parties, short notice deadlines (especially for public entities), and technical evidence (event-recorder data, signal logs, video) that must be preserved immediately.
❓ Why Are So Few Grade Crossings Protected By Flashers And/Or Gates?
Upgrades are prioritized using risk and traffic studies and depend on funding shared by railroads and public agencies. Many crossings remain passive (signs only), and some are private or low-volume, delaying installation of active protection.
