Railroad Crossing Accidents

In the most recent year for which figures are available, 14 train passengers died from injuries caused by a train accident. However, over 900 fatalities involved auto accidents at railroad crossings or pedestrians who were struck by a train.

During the day, 75% of all car and train collisions involve the train hitting the car. It’s different after nightfall when 50% of all railroad crossing accidents involve the car crashing into the train. Night time accidents are typically caused by an inadequately marked crossing. The US Department of Transportation notes that 80% of railroad crossings are inadequately marked.

Most accidents involving a train and an automobile at a railroad crossing are caused not by human error but by inadequate warning signs and signals, or by defective barrier/guardrail equipment. A motorist injured by a train, whether at a railroad crossing or anywhere else on or off the train, may be able to make a claim for his or her injuries.

Train Accident Recoveries

Financial compensation can obviously never fully compensate someone for the trauma experienced when you’re in a train accident or lose a loved one to one. However, a financial recovery can help ease your suffering and help pay for any living needs or services.

The damages available in a train accident claim will vary based upon the circumstances of the accident. If you or a loved one were in a train wreck, you may be able to recover the following:

  • Bills for medical care, home healthcare and medical monitoring
  • Loss of wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Physical and emotional pain and suffering
  • Wrongful death
  • Life care

Who Can I Obtain A Financial Recovery From?

Every train accident is different and your train accident may have one or several responsible parties. Parties who may be held liable for your train accident injuries include:

  • The owner and operator of the train
  • The driver of a motor vehicle
  • The owner of the train tracks
  • The manufacturer of train or signal equipment

What Should I Do After A Train Accident?

The steps you take after your train accident can determine the outcome of your train crash claim. You should do the following after a train wreck:

  • Document what occurred, including weather conditions, accident location and if the brakes were applied before the accident
  • Take pictures of the accident scene
  • Get the contact information of witnesses
  • Get medical treatment immediately and do whatever your doctor tells you to
  • Don’t talk to insurance companies; leave that to an experienced train accident lawyer instead so you don’t accidentally say something the insurance companies can use to pay you less
  • Don’t use social media until your case is over
