What should I do immediately after being injured as a passenger on a public bus in Miami?

To protect your health and legal rights following a public bus accident, follow these essential steps: 1. Notify the bus operator immediately and ensure an official transit incident report is created before exiting. 2. Record the bus number, route, badge number of the driver, and contact information of fellow passengers. 3. Seek immediate medical evaluation to document your trauma within the Florida statutory timeframe. 4. Preserve physical evidence, including your transit fare pass or digital boarding receipt. 5. Consult Jeffrey S. Altman at The Altman Law Firm to secure vehicle surveillance footage before it is routinely overwritten by the transit authority.
