Causes of Train Accidents

A locomotive is a massive piece of machinery of unfathomable weight and power. Like all machines, it is full of moving parts that must be properly maintained and routinely inspected. If a single piece fails during operation, it can result in a train that runs out of control until it derails or crashes.

Many train accidents are not caused by mechanical failure but instead by the neglect and carelessness of conductors and engineers. Failing to pay attention to track signals can cause two engines to collide into one another. Ignoring posted speed limits may cause a passenger train to careen and tumble on sharp turns. No matter the true cause of a train accidents, the people who suffer injuries due to them should always be given appropriate compensation.

What Damages Can I Receive After a Train Accident?

There are very rarely injuries caused by a train accident that can be considered minor. Due to the size and speed at which trains travel, passengers may suffer brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other catastrophic injuries. In turn, the compensation they receive should also be substantial in order to cover the extensive damages incurred.

You may need to file a claim that seeks compensation for:

  • Initial hospitalization costs
  • Ongoing treatment or rehabilitation
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning potential
  • Lessened standard of living
  • Emotional pain and suffering
