Train/Railroad Accidents

Train Accidents happen for many reasons. Railroad crossings may be littered with debris and obstructed, mechanism failure, or simple human error can be at fault when a train derails or slams into a car. Whenever there is a train/railroad accident, serious personal injuries may result due to the extensive damage caused by train/railroad accidents.

Safety concerns are a serious issue when it comes to train and railroad commercial transportation services.

The following are some United States Train/Railroad Accident statistics:

• An estimated 3,000 train accidents occur yearly
• Approximately 1,000 people die as a result of train accidents per year
• Nearly every 2 weeks a train derailment causes a chemical spill leading up to evacuations of local residents
• The occurrence of train accidents has been escalating since 1997
