I just heard on the radio about a Tri Met bus striking and tragically running down two pedestrians and seriously injuring another in downtown Portland Oregon. Wrongful death suits will follows as it would appear from the preliminary facts I have now read that the Tri Met driver is likely at fault so it would appear.

Wrongful death suits involving Tri Met involve questions of appropriate driver care and issues get more complex because of the common carrier statutes and governing law. Having handled perhaps as many as 20 cases against Tri Met over the last eighteen years I foresee a drawn out fight but if handled in the appropriate manner can be resolved to achieve the ends wished by the wrongful death recipient family
