Injuries from a Train Accident Can Be Serious

Injuries from a train accident can be very serious, in large part because unlike motor vehicles, passengers are not secured when riding within a train. This means that if a train collides or derails, passengers may be flung out of their seats and collide with other passengers, the train’s walls or seats, and other objects. Of course, an even more tragic situation is one in which a person outside of the train is hit, either when acting as a pedestrian or a driver or passenger within a passenger car.

Serious injuries that may be the result of a train accident include:

Lacerations;
Traumatic brain injuries;
Back and neck injuries;
Spinal cord injuries;
Internal injuries;
Bruises;
Amputation injuries; and
Severe emotional distress and psychological injuries – being the victim of a train accident can be very traumatic.

Potentially Liable Parties in a Train Accident

As your Allentown train accident lawyers, part of our job is identifying all potentially-liable parties. The more potentially-liable parties we are able to identify, the more sources of compensation that are potentially available to you. Examples of parties who may be liable include:

Train conductor or other train company employee;
Party responsible for rail or train maintenance;
Train company;
A third party (for example, if an individual assaults the conductor or assaults you on the train, this party may be liable for any injuries that result); and
A third party driver, such as a driver who fails to yield to a crossing train, leading to a collision.

"I love that I have Mike on my side, whenever I question what am I supposed to do? I used to call my dad and after my dad passed, even for things that aren’t always law related, I know I could still call Mike, and I love that about him.
