Train Accidents

Due to easy access and speed of travel, light-rail and commuter train travel has recently become an extremely popular mode of public transportation, especially in the twin cities metropolitan area, suburbs, and cities and towns on the commuter line. Accidents that involve trains often result in serious personal injuries or death. Serious injuries may also occur at train stations, railroad crossings, and on station platforms.

Train accidents may occur as a result of a collision between trains, derailments, poorly maintained tracks, poorly maintained wheels, brakes and other parts, non-compliance with safety standards and many other factors. Accidents at train stations, railroad crossings and on station platforms may occur as a result of improperly maintained stations, stairs or platforms, poor lighting, weather related conditions, defective railroad crossings and gaps between the train and station platforms.
