From cross-country excursions to your everyday work commute, trains provide an economical and comfortable way to get from here to there. As passengers sit back and relax, the train operator takes over, providing timely, affordable transportation, while keeping riders safe. Train conductors are trusted to always monitor the tracks to avoid potential accidents. Our Michigan train accident injury lawyer could help you pursue a personal injury claim.
What Can Go Wrong on a Train?
Fortunately, train accidents are rare. Unfortunately, when they do occur, the speed and size of the train often mean the accidents are catastrophic. Passengers can be injured if an accident occurs while they’re riding. Or they may find themselves harmed at the train’s exit, because of heavy doors or tripping hazards. Others suffer injury when struck by a train at a train station or an intersection.
Train accidents can happen for any number of reasons, including:
- Faulty train signals and lights
- Malfunctioning mechanical equipment
- Inadequate track maintenance
- Crossing gates not in place
- Conductor error
