Causes of Accidents Involving Trains
Train accidents can take many forms, from large-scale derailments to individual passenger injuries.
Some of the most common types of train-related incidents include:
- Derailments: Among the most serious accidents, often caused by poor tracks, equipment failure, or operator error.
- Vehicle Collisions: Crashes at railroad crossings can cause serious injuries or fatalities when trains hit cars, trucks, or buses.
- Passenger Injuries Onboard: Slips, falls, sudden braking, or faulty equipment can seriously harm passengers.
- Station and Platform Accidents: Poor maintenance or overcrowding can lead to injuries while entering or exiting trains.
- Operator Negligence: Distracted, fatigued, or poorly trained operators greatly increase accident risks.
If you or a loved one has experienced any of these incidents, our experienced attorneys and legal staff are here to provide the guidance you need.
The Complexities of Liability in Train Accidents
Determining liability in train accidents can be complicated, often involving multiple parties. Train operators may be at fault due to negligence, while government agencies are responsible for maintaining safe infrastructure. Maintenance crews or contractors could contribute to accidents through improper repairs, and defective components from equipment manufacturers might also play a role.
Additionally, train accident cases often intersect with federal and state laws designed to regulate the railroad industry. We possess the expertise and resources necessary to untangle this web of regulations and identify all parties responsible for your injuries.
