MUNI Accident Attorneys in the San Francisco Bay Area
Many types of vehicles make up the San Francisco Municipal Railway: buses, LRVs, street cars, cable cars and electric buses. Because the San Francisco Bay Area is so sprawling, thousands of residents rely on the MUNI system for public transit on a daily basis. Unfortunately, MUNI vehicles are often involved in serious accidents, causing injury or wrongful deaths to pedestrians, motorists, motorcyclists, bicyclists and MUNI riders alike.
At Choulos, Choulos & Wyle , we are experienced personal injury lawyers who handle MUNI accident cases for clients throughout the Bay Area.

MUNI accidents can leave individuals with a wide variety of injuries, including broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and lacerations. We also represent the families who have lost a loved one in one of these traumatic accidents.
