Various factors cause train accidents, ranging from human error to technical malfunctions.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) data, most railroad fatalities result from collisions at highway-rail grade crossings and people trespassing on tracks, accounting for over 95% of these fatalities.
Other common causes include track defects, which can lead to derailments or collisions, human error or failure to properly follow safety procedures, driver fatigue, signal failures, and equipment defects.
Train accidents can result in serious injuries and damage to passengers and property. Injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to more severe injuries such as broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and even fatalities.
Property damage can also occur to trains, tracks, and surrounding structures, resulting in significant financial costs.
When train accidents happen, there can be several parties that may be liable for the incident. These can include the train operator, the train company responsible for maintaining the tracks, or even the train manufacturer.
For example, if an accident occurs due to equipment failure or poorly maintained train tracks and railroad crossings, the company responsible for the train’s maintenance could be held accountable. Also, they could be held liable if the train operator was negligent in their duties and did not follow safety protocols for passenger trains.
After a train accident, the initial investigation is crucial to determining whether any negligence or wrongdoing was involved. Experts, including railroad officials, law enforcement, and federal authorities, conduct the investigation.
It may involve collecting physical evidence, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing data from the train’s black box.
The investigation process is thorough and can take several months to complete, but it is necessary to establish accountability and prevent future accidents from happening.
Two legal options for a personal injury case involving train accidents are available for victims: settlement or trial.
A settlement occurs when the parties involved agree to resolve the matter outside court — a faster, less expensive option, as trials can take months or years.
With a trial, evidence is presented, and a judge or jury will determine who is at fault and award damages accordingly. This route may take longer and involve more expenses but can result in a larger payout if successful. Trials also allow you to have your story heard and establish accountability for the other party’s negligence.
The decision of whether to pursue a settlement or go to trial ultimately depends on the individual circumstances of your case. An experienced attorney can help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and guide you toward the best course of action.
