Who is at Fault for Your Transportation Accident?
An important aspect of any accident case is determining who is at fault for your injuries. Sometimes parties try to blame the accident on someone or something else. For example, a bus driver may claim that the brakes were faulty or that the road was slippery. At Baum & Blake, we retain the services of top experts to review the accident in full detail. We can then determine who is responsible for the injuries and seek full and fair compensation on our clients' behalf.
Representing Injured Travelers
If you were injured in a train, plane, taxi, boat, bus or MUNI accident while traveling, you may be worried about filing a successful personal injury lawsuit. Understanding the importance of complying with claim filing deadlines and statutes of limitation against the public entities that operate public transportation is often difficult. This is precisely why an attorney with extensive experience handling transportation cases is so invaluable.
The international personal injury lawyers of Baum & Blake work extensively with a network of lawyers throughout the United States and other parts of the world. We have successfully represented Americans injured abroad and foreign visitors injured while traveling in the United States. Our experience and knowledge in this area has earned us great respect among the world's legal community and has led to speaking engagements on international personal injury law in both England, and Australia.
