Your choice of accident attorney is critical to your SEPTA case. With decades of personal injury experience, Philadelphia SEPTA accident lawyer Jeffrey Penneys knows how SEPTA attorneys and insurance adjusters operate. He knows how to handle their evasive stonewalling.
Depending on the facts of your case, SEPTA might not be the only party you can pursue a claim against – a third-party motorist, a product manufacturer, or even a pedestrian might share the blame or hold complete liability. In these instances, Jeffrey Penney’s experience can help, too.
The second most important factor in winning your case is the speed with which you take action. When you file against the government, filing deadlines are considerably shorter. If you were in a multi-victim accident, SEPTA compensation limits apply. If you file your claim too late, you could end up with little or nothing.
A SEPTA accident has a lot in common with other types of motor vehicle and transportation accidents: the terrifying moment you realize you are hurt, the painful recovery, the flood of medical bills arriving in the mail, and the long, hard battle to return your life to normal. However, a SEPTA accident is also much different from other types of transit accidents when it comes to filing an injury claim and securing compensation.
If you are involved in a drunk driving accident, you hire a DUI accident attorney. If you are in a tractor-trailer accident, you hire a tractor-trailer accident attorney. In the same way, if you are in a SEPTA accident, it is worthwhile to hire a SEPTA accident attorney.
Here are three ways SEPTA accidents are different from other transportation and motor vehicle accidents:
Only six months to file
Because of the Sovereign Immunity Act, injury victims and their families only have six months to file a notice with SEPTA.
Compensation limits
The Sovereign Immunity Act dictates you can only secure a maximum of $250,000 for your injuries – no matter how severely you are hurt. If more than one person suffers an injury in the accident, SEPTA may be held responsible for no more than $1 million in damages for all injured parties. A SEPTA accident attorney can tell you if your injury will be subject to compensation limits and sovereign immunity laws.
Compete with a government authority
Instead of only dealing with one other insurance company, you will be up against a government organization that confronts accident claims thousands of times annually. Having an experienced attorney on your side with a similar amount of experience and knowledge is vital.
SEPTA is the sixth-largest public transit system in the U.S., serving millions of passengers annually in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Although most SEPTA vehicles operate in Philadelphia, the transit authority operates 120 bus routes across Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, and Bucks counties.
The latest SEPTA accident data shows:
While some accidents are unavoidable, it’s possible to prevent many. With multiple regulations and safety requirements in place, how do so many SEPTA accidents happen? While public transportation accident injuries in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania are often due to bad luck, many are due to negligence.
SEPTA bus, train, and trolley accidents can result in severe injuries due to the speed of travel, the weight of the vehicles, and the absence of seatbelts on public transportation. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey H. Penneys, we recognize the tragic impact SEPTA accidents can have on Pennsylvania families.
With over 30 years of experience representing SEPTA accident victims and winning SEPTA cases, Jeffrey Penneys is here to help guide you to secure a fair SEPTA accident settlement.

If you are not too seriously injured, try to obtain:
It is VERY Important to fill out a SEPTA Incident Card! If the driver does not offer one, please ask! If you don’t do this, it’s OK. It just makes it easier to confirm you were on the SEPTA vehicle.
Yes. The maximum compensation is $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 aggregate per accident, no matter how many victims there are. The aggregate limit could be problematic if your damages are high and there were dozens of people injured in the accident.
The best strategy is usually to seek settlement first, but file a lawsuit if SEPTA is uncooperative or makes a low-ball offer. You can then return to the settlement table and seek an out-of-court resolution while you wait for trial. Most SEPTA claims are resolved before trial.
We know there’s a lot to take in. That’s why Jeff offers no-pressure consultations, where you can ask anything about your SEPTA claim, legal rights, or next steps. The call is free. The advice is real. And there’s no obligation, just answers.
