If an accident were to occur, people can become seriously injured. There can be many different scenarios that can contribute to a mass transit accident.

The employee may have ignored their responsibilities, which caused the accident to occur. After these accidents, victims can gain damages from the mass transit company. These damages can provide money to cover the cost of their medical bills that have been charged due to their injuries from the accident.
