Common carrier companies are responsible for the safety of their passengers. When a passenger is injured due to the negligence of the company or its operator, the company should be held liable. The victim should be compensated for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other expenses. Common carrier companies have a duty to their passengers to exercise reasonable care. When they fail to do so, they should be held accountable. Victims of common carrier accidents should not have to bear the financial burden of the company’s negligence.
Ralph Scoccimaro Law Group has experience with all types of Common Carrier injury cases. A Common Carrier is defined as a company that provides transportation services to the public. This includes but is not limited to airlines, bus companies, railroads, and maritime vessels. If you have been injured while using the services of a Common Carrier, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Ralph Scoccimaro Law Group can help you recover the compensation you deserve. We offer free initial consultations and do not charge a fee unless you recover compensation through a settlement or trial verdict. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.
