Railway Statistics

More than 500 railroads and hundreds of thousands of miles of track exist across the United States. While a substantial portion of our economy relies on railway transportation, little has been done to increase safety on railways as the technology today has changed little in over 70 years. In 1999 alone, there were over 2,700 train accidents, or 1 every 3 hours, in the United States. According to the NTSB, 60 percent of all railway crossing fatalities occur at unprotected crossings and approximately 80 percent of all public railroad crossings are unprotected by either lights or safety gates.

Common Causes of Railway Injuries

Injuries caused by train accident injuries are frequently catastrophic, if not fatal. As trains are common carriers and have a responsibility to safely transport passengers and cargo, if you or a loved one has been injured in a train accident, seek the advice of a competent train accident attorney to find out if the business is liable for the injuries caused. Common causes of train and subway accidents include:

     • Derailment
     • Inadequate security
     • Engineer negligence or fatigue
     • Mechanical failure
     • Faulty crossing signs
     • Defective tracks
     • Hazardous spills
     • Collisions with automobiles, pedestrians, or other trains

What To Do If You're Involved In A Railway Accident

If you are involved in a railway accident, the primary concern is your well being and the most important thing to do is call emergency response to request both medical and police assistance. Do not leave the scene of the accident or attempt to move your vehicle unless you can safely do so. If you have a camera on your cell phone, take pictures of where the vehicles came to rest and of any visible damage.

Next, attempt to locate and obtain contact information for those individuals who witnessed the accident. Exchange insurance information and driver license information with the other party. Most accidents will cause you to incur some trauma. Out of caution, it is always best to seek medical assistance following an accident as physiological responses such as shock can mask pain or injuries which can be lessened if promptly attended to. Adhere to any instructions given at discharge and be sure to follow up with your family physician shortly thereafter.
