Who Can Be Held Responsible for Railroad Accidents?

Trains in the United States travel more than 1.5 million miles every day. Some of these trains are operated by private companies while others, like Amtrak trains, are operated by government-affiliated entities. Railroad operators are expected to operate trains safely, while those who maintain tracks have a duty to ensure no harm comes to riders or surrounding motorists.

Unfortunately, railroad operators and others involved in train operations are sometimes negligent in fulfilling their duties. When this happens, those whose actions or inactions caused railroad accidents can be held accountable to victims. Passengers aboard a train can pursue legal action when they are harmed by negligence or intentional wrongdoing. The same rights applies to those who are struck by trains.

When the trains and tracks are operated by government entities, legal action can be complicated due to sovereign immunity rules. An Austin railroad accidents lawyer at Loewy Law Firm knows how to pursue cases against government agencies and private entities. We will fight for your rights to be compensated.

What Kinds of Compensation Can You Receive After an Accident with a Train?

Victims of railroad accidents should be fully compensated for losses and damages both economic and non-financial. When a train crash is deadly, surviving family members should receive compensation for losses including loss of companionship and loss of the deceased’s income.

A law in 1997 called the Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act (ARAA) imposed some aggregate limits on compensation for train accidents. It is important for victims to understand their rights and to be aggressive in showing the extent of their losses after an incident with a train occurs. Loewy Law Firm knows how state and federal laws apply to protect and provide for train crash victims. We’ll be aggressive in helping you seek full compensation after a railroad accident.
