California Train Accident Attorneys
Across the United States, passengers, cargo, chemicals, and freight are transported by the railroads. Similar to semi-trucks, trains are capable of carrying large amounts of products to locations throughout the country rapidly and efficiently. Unfortunately, train accidents can and do happen causing serious injury and death to passengers, crew, and those in other vehicles.
Causes of Train Accidents
Although the railroad companies set strict rules and regulations for the operation of a train to ensure the safety of passengers, crew members, and other vehicle passengers, collisions have and continue to occur in California. Some of the most commonly reported causes of train accidents include, but are not limited to:
- Conductor fatigue
- Poor train maintenance
- Poor track maintenance
- Dangerous crossings
- Alcohol/drug use
- Overabundance of heavy cargo
- Mechanical failures
- Failure to sounds warning horn
- Faulty railroad lights
