Train Accidents
Millions of Americans use trains each day as a cheap, affordable way to get to their destination. However, when they are improperly maintained, or when reckless drivers race across the tracks, a serious accident may occur. Take a look at the following statistics:
| |
|
|
|
 |
A train derailment or collision occurs every 1½ hours |
|
There are approximately 3,000 train accidents each year |
|
Approximately 1,000 people will die every year as a result of train accidents |
|
Nearly every 2 weeks, derailments cause chemical spills, leading to the evacuation of locals |
Railroad accidents are often caused by collisions with other vehicles of transport, derailment, mechanical failure, inadequate security, dated and improperly maintained tracks, or conductor negligence. Since there are many factors that lead to these accidents, there are many people who can be held responsible for your injury, loss of income, or pain and suffering. While it's the responsibility of the railroad company to maintain the tracks and the train you ride, truck and car drivers also have the responsibility of following laws.
