How a Denver Train Accident Attorney Can Help

Accidents commonly occur due to negligence on the part of the train company, railroad employees, manufacturers of equipment, or governmental agency.

Hazardous material accidents
Railroad crossing accidents

What Are Some Causes for Railway Injuries?

Most accidents are avoidable. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTBS), the majority of train fatalities are trespassers struck by trains. Unprotected railway crossings don’t have lights or signals so there’s no warning that a train is coming. Bystanders are hurt or killed at these crossings. Being hit by a train is not usually survivable. It’s also dangerous for the people riding the train and other bystanders.

Train derailments and hazardous material spills can cause injury to bystanders. Sometimes passengers are injured while boarding or disembarking from the train. Other causes include:

Poor maintenance
Defective safety equipment on the train
Defective or inadequate safety equipment at the railway crossing
Mechanical failures
Distracted pedestrians
Negligent motor vehicle drivers
Misaligned tracks
Speeding
Cargo loaded unevenly
Breaks in the track
Defective wheels or other equipment
Human error or negligence

Passenger trains travel at a high rate of speed and passengers do not wear safety devices. This means that even a small accident can cause great injury or even wrongful death.

If you work for the railroad, it is a reasonable assumption that your employer will do everything within their power to keep you safe. The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) requires that a reasonably safe workplace is provided, inspections must be conducted to keep the workplace free of hazards, the employer must enforce safety rules and ensure that training and supervision are in place.

Who Investigates Railway Accidents?

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) monitors train incidents every day of the year. Their primary investigatory focus is on accidents involving railway equipment or highway-rail crossings, and fatalities of employees and contractors. Their findings are available through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

Car Accident

Completely impressed with how, all of them were there to help me through this horrible time in my life.

This car accident was terrible and without you guys, and your help I am not sure where I would be. Thank you all so much. Janele

Maria R.

Personal Injury

They were amazing to work with since day 1. My previous lawyer had too many cases and referred me to them and they immediately told me what I need to do and what to expect. I was not in the dark. They also kept me updated throughout the whole process when there were updates and even when there were no big updates. They even advocated for me and negotiated to get me more money. They were great. Ashley Reisman was such a pleasure to work with and talk to specifically too 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Brad P.
