Types of Train Accidents
Accidents involving trains typically have distinct causes. Understanding the types and most common causes of train accidents is crucial for preventing them and improving train safety. Train accidents can take the form of collisions with other trains or motor vehicles, train car derailments, collisions with bicyclists and pedestrians, mechanical failures, fires and explosions, and onboard accidents (e.g., slip and fall accidents).
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Ventura Train Accident?
Train accidents are often caused by negligence, or the failure to use an appropriate level of care. A negligent train conductor, for example, may push the train to an excessive speed and cause a derailment. If a train company is negligent, it may fail to properly maintain its trains and equipment, resulting in mechanical issues such as brake failure.
Train companies can generally be held liable for accidents caused by company negligence or train conductor/staff member errors. If a defective product contributed to the accident, the manufacturer of the item could be held liable. If a railroad issue contributed to the crash, the railroad company could be responsible.
