MUNI, or the San Francisco Municipal Railway, has a long tradition in the city, and people depend on the system to get to work, visit friends or travel to leisure time activities.

MUNI is operated by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which is a semi-independent agency of the city of San Francisco. It is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of this transit system. When MUNI accidents and injuries occur as a result of another party’s negligence or misconduct, injured persons or the families of those who died may be able to seek redress. At Mary Alexander & Associates, P.C., our lawyers advocate for clients who suffered injuries or whose loved ones died as a result of negligence involving a streetcar, bus or trolley. We file lawsuits and participate in pretrial negotiations in pursuit of fair compensation for injured clients.

- Pedestrian-transit accidents
- Turning without signaling or stopping
- Inadequate driver training

- Drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
