Mesa Light Rail Accident Lawyers

Who is Responsible if I am Injured in a Mesa Light Rail Accident?

While significant improvements have been made to the traffic signals around the light rail, accidents can still happen. Whether the result of inattentive drivers, faulty rails or trains, operator negligence, derailing, or dangerous intersections, it can be difficult to determine who, or what, is at fault. If you are involved in a light rail accident, you need an attorney that can analyze the liability aspects of the case, hire experts to inspect the train, analyze evidence, and make a case for your compensation. Arizona law cites that you only have 6 months, or 180 days, from the date of the light rail accident to submit a claim against the city or state (ARS-12-821.01). Because the time frame for making a light rail accident claim is so much shorter than the time frame for an accident with another driver, you need to move fast. Get in touch with our Mesa light rail accident attorneys right away to see whether you have a case and start the investigation process.
