Sacramento Train Accident Attorney
Estey & Bomberger railroad accident attorneys understand the complex legal issues that result from railroad negligence, accidents and injuries. Specific laws govern whether or not the railroad company is liable for a train accident, and many factors determine who is responsible. A thorough investigation is always necessary to determine who is at fault and to what extent. Some train accidents may be prevented with proper maintenance of crossing gates, guards and lights, sign placement, railroad employee training, and supervision. If you have been injured in a train accident, an attorney can help you protect your legal rights.
Types of Train Accidents
- Automobiles struck by trains
- Bicyclists struck by trains
- Defective signal devices and dangerous railroad crossings
- Derailment accidents and hazardous material spills
- Head-on train crashes
- Motorcyclists struck by trains
- Pedestrians struck by trains
Train accidents may be caused by unsafely loaded cargo, mechanical failure, defects on railroad tracks or crossing gate arms, derailment, and negligence on the part of conductors, motorists, pedestrians and others. Train engineers have a responsibility to operate a train with the highest duty of care, and do everything possible to prevent a collision or accident. Parties responsible for train accidents may include railroad companies, engineers, equipment manufacturers, government agencies and municipalities.
Train Accident Injuries
Because of the sheer force and the often high speed of a train, accidents involving trains may result in serious, catastrophic or fatal injuries. Injuries such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries may be permanently disabling and require lifelong care. Compensation for railroad accident injuries may include damages for medical expenses, past and future lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering and other accident-related expenses. Families that have lost a family member in a fatal train accident in California may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim.
