Tracks and Crossings

A train crash is a tragic event that can result in many victims suffering serious physical injuries and emotional trauma. It may also cause financial burdens from medical expenses, loss of income and other costs arising from an accident between a train and vehicle or a rail accident. People who have been injured by trains may sue anyone who is found to be responsible for the incident. Based on the nature of the accident train employees, railroad companies, or property owners could be held responsible.

The majority of train accidents occur at crossings where a vehicle is trying to outrun the train. These accidents can be caused by the driver, passengers as well as some passersby. These crashes are caused by a variety of factors, but the main reason is the driver's inattention when trying to catch up of the train. This is usually due to not paying attention to warning signals, not stopping at the stop signal or waiting until it is safe to cross.

The brakes of a vehicle could fail, or the driver might be unable to determine the speed and direction of a train that is approaching. These issues can be made worse by blind curves as well as a poorly-marked or maintained crossing or bad weather conditions like snow or ice that makes it difficult to see and safely drive.

There are approximately 250,000 railroad crossings across the U.S. and over 95 percent of collisions between trains and vehicles occur at these kinds of crossings. Many of them are called "passive" crossings, meaning they do not have a gate or lights and must be used at drivers at their own risk. These crossings are much more dangerous than crossings with gates and lights, as they offer less protection for motorists in the event of collision with a train.

Signals, rails and warning devices at a railroad cross must be properly maintained by the railroad in order to ensure that drivers are able to see the approaching trains or other cars. Obstructions such as a fallen tree, trash can, or other items left inadvertently on the track or at the site where trains will pass must be removed before a train arrives. If they don't, it could lead to a deadly accident.

Trains are intricate machines that require experts to operate. If a train driver fails to follow protocol this could result in serious injury or death to those aboard and those on the track. If an operator or train company is found to be negligent, those who suffer may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses as well as emotional trauma and lost wages.

The attorney will also collect evidence to prove that the actions of the responsible party directly caused the accident and subsequent injuries.

Railroad companies have a higher obligation to passengers than an average property owner since they are considered common carriers that provide transportation services for a fee. This means the railroad company must take additional steps to ensure safety of passengers and security, for example, ensuring that employees are properly-trained and that the trains are secure.
