Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses how MA public transportation accident cases are different from other accident cases. He explains that when dealing with public transportation entities like the Massachusetts Transportation Authority (MTA), there are specific requirements to navigate under the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act. As a public entity, the MTA has certain hoops you must jump through that may not be present in other cases. On the other hand, if we consider other forms of public transportation such as taxi cabs, there is a significant difference. Cab companies are held to a much higher standard of care towards their passengers compared to the duty of care we owe to each other while simply being out on the street.
