April 28th, 2011

Does the bus you take to office everyday owe you any duty when you suffer injuries in an accident? In most cases, it does. Common carriers like buses, trains, and such others must provide all passengers (and cargo) the highest standard of care. In case of any negligence of this duty, it becomes liable for your injuries.

Whether you are on a common carrier like the passenger Railroad Company in New Orleans, e.g. Amtrak or a public transport, e.g. New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, it needs to provide you the highest degree of care. This is because of the degree of control the carrier may exercise on its passengers.

In a common carrier accident in New Orleans, the burden of proof shifts to the defendant. Therefore, if you sue a common carrier on grounds of liability, you need not prove negligence or fault on the part of the carrier. It is the responsibility of the carrier to prove that negligence on its part was not the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.

However, you need to find a New Orleans personal injury law firm for proper legal representation in such a case. A lawyer specializing in the state laws would be able to handle the case properly, right from the filing.
