Kajy Law Firm represents injured Uber passenger as case raises questions about public transit accountability, governmental immunity, and recovery after serious crashes.
DETROIT, MI, June 11, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Kajy Law Firm, PLLC is calling attention to a serious Detroit streetcar crash that left an Uber passenger with significant injuries, major medical bills, and an uncertain path toward recovery.
The crash, which occurred on Nov. 30, 2023, involved an approximately 88,000-pound QLINE streetcar and an Uber vehicle traveling on Woodward Avenue. The incident has drawn public attention because of the severity of the victim’s injuries, the lawsuit filed against the Regional Transit Authority, and the RTA’s claim of governmental immunity.
The injured Detroit man was riding in an Uber when the QLINE streetcar struck the vehicle. He later described the crash as devastating. Since then, he has reported a month-long hospital stay, cervical spine fusion surgery, the use of a cane, an inability to work, and approximately $500,000 in medical bills.
Lawrence Kajy, founder, CEO, and managing attorney of Kajy Law Firm, PLLC, is representing the injured passenger in the case and has been publicly involved in addressing the legal issues surrounding the crash. The firm is pursuing legal action against the Regional Transit Authority, which oversees the QLINE. The case raises a direct and important question: when someone is seriously injured in a crash involving public transportation, what responsibility should the involved entity carry?
“We filed this suit because he has $500,000 in medical bills and someone needs to pay for being at fault for this case,” Kajy said.
Thomas Kerr, lead attorney at Kajy Law Firm, PLLC, has also addressed internal reports connected to the collision. Those materials reportedly included video of the crash, and Kerr described the incident as preventable.
Kajy Law Firm, PLLC believes the case has broader importance for Detroit residents who rely on rideshare vehicles, public transit, and busy shared corridors such as Woodward Avenue. Serious crashes involving transit vehicles can create complex legal questions, especially when government immunity is raised. But the firm maintains that injured people still deserve transparency, a careful review of the evidence, and a fair opportunity to seek recovery.
“This case is about accountability,” the firm said. “When a person is seriously injured, unable to return to work, and left with overwhelming medical bills, the focus should be on facts, responsibility, and making sure the injured person is not left behind.”
The court has not yet ruled on whether governmental immunity applies. The Regional Transit Authority has declined to comment because of the pending litigation.
Kajy Law Firm, PLLC will continue representing its client as the case moves forward and as the court considers the immunity issue.
