SEPTA Accident Lawyer
Overview
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA) is a popular method of transportation for people located in Philadelphia. SEPTA is one of the largest transit systems in the United States and is also a popular choice for Pennsylvania residents. Every day, countless people rely upon SEPTA to get them to their destinations. People place a great deal of trust in SEPTA drivers and the people who maintain the buses, trains, and subways within the SEPTA network. Unfortunately, numerous SEPTA accidents happen every year, and have caused people to sustain life-threatening injuries.
It is very common for people who are involved in SEPTA accidents to sustain severe spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, burn injuries, or head injuries. Injuries such as these are considered "catastrophic" because they are not easy to diagnose, can become worse over time, and demand continual medical attention and observation. Catastrophic injuries often alter the injured person's quality of life. A person who has sustained a catastrophic injury will usually have an array of physical and/or mental complications that will prevent him/her from returning to work or functioning at his/her normal capacity.
