How Do Train Accidents Happen?
Train accidents can occur for many reasons including:
- Negligence of train operators, such as speeding or texting while operating the train.
- Failure to install or maintain appropriate safety equipment.
- Failure to maintain train tracks.
- Inadequate markings of train crossings, resulting in collisions with vehicles or pedestrians.
After a train crash, investigators should determine the cause of the incident. An Austin personal injury lawyer from Loewy Law Firm can provide help identifying all parties who could be held liable for the crash. We can provide assistance to victims who are making claims against those who are to blame for what happened.
How Can I Pursue a Case For Compensation After a Train Accident?
Train accident cases may be filed in state or in federal court depending on who was operating the train, where the crash occurred (if it is considered a railroad accident), and whether train operators and victims lived in different states.
In some cases, claims can be made against government agencies when they operate the train or are responsible for track maintenance. Governmental immunity rules may complicate these cases, but an experienced Austin train accidents lawyer can help victims follow the appropriate legal steps to make their case for compensation.
