Despite public carriers’ highest duty of care, a plaintiff must still prove that a common carrier was negligent; as all Plaintiffs must do in most Tort Cases. Here the Plaintiffs and/or their Chosen Lawyers must show that:

a)    The Defendant owed Plaintiff the Highest Duty of Reasonable Care;

b)   Defendant breached that duty by failing to follow certain measures (depending on the facts leading to the subject injury);

c)    The breach directly and proximately caused the plaintiff’s injury;

d)   The plaintiff suffered physical and/or emotional injuries, or loss of income, and so on. 

In order to prove the elements delineated above and more, the Plaintiffs and/or their Chosen Lawyers must present relevant and admissible evidences, such as:

1)   Any witnesses, who can testify their observation of what happened;

2)   Any evidence such as inspection records, police reports, photographs, videos, failure to warn, etc.;

3)   Expert Witnesses, who could explain how did the negligent act or omission led to the injury;

4)   “Negligence Per Se” covers a category of harms involving the violation of statutes that are designed to protect the public from a specific type of harm. 

Although, it is relatively easy to look into facts and circumstances that led to the violation of a specific law; it is not that simple to prove the intent of the law; the class of the plaintiffs it protects; and from what type of harm. 

Another important issue to remember is that Public Transportation Laws and procedures, somewhat, differ from standard personal injury laws. That is because most public transportation companies are owned and operated by Federal, State or Municipal Governments. In most cases, they have their own notice requirements, procedures and deadlines for filing injury claims. Although, such deadlines and procedures differ from state to state, generally, they can include the following:

• Shorter Statute of Limitations, generally, 6-Months, during, which an injured party (Plaintiff) must notify the public transportation company in writing; delineating the precise circumstances of his or her accident and file a lawsuit, if needed.
• Moreover, the plaintiff must make sure his or her claim is against the appropriate defendant or defendants. 

Filing claims against public transformations, specially, those owned by various levels of governmental agencies could be highly complex.
