Railroad/Train Accidents

Railroad transportation is generally considered safe, although accidents do happen. When an accident occurs, it is very rarely the fault of the passenger. If you have been injured in a railroad/train accident, you may be entitled to substantial damages from the party responsible for your injuries. A train crash may result in wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or other debilitating injuries. A single train accident can be much more catastrophic than an automobile accident or a truck crash, because trains travel at very high speeds and often transport a large amount of people. After a train crash or railroad accident, it may not be immediately apparent who is responsible for the crash. A railroad accident may be caused by:

  • Collision with an automobile, truck, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian
  • Collision with another train
  • Conductor negligence
  • Line-of-sight issues
  • Outdated train tracks
  • Single train accidents
  • Train derailment
  • Train mechanical failure
  • Unmaintained train tracks
