Public Transportation Injury Claim
Summary
Filing a personal injury claim against public transportation in Washington can be complex due to public entity immunity and the need for detailed evidence. Camera footage can strengthen your case. Claims must be filed within specific timeframes, often 60 days. If a claim form was not received, resubmit and confirm receipt. Community Transit may require separate claims if multiple parties are involved. Legal guidance is recommended, and resources like PACER or local court websites can provide case information. Consider consulting with personal injury attorneys or legal aid organizations for assistance.Full Conversation
