Railroad and train accidents can have devastating consequences. Every year, thousands of people across the United States are injured or harmed because of train and railroad accidents. If you have been injured because of railroad or train accident, you may have a cause of action. It is important to consult with an attorney to understand your options.
Railroads are treated as common carriers, which means they have an obligation to protect passengers from harm. However, all the circumstances surrounding your injury would need to be examined to determine whether or not the railroad was negligent or at fault in some way.
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) governs accidents that involve an employee of the railroad. FELA requires the injured worker to demonstrate that the railroad was negligent and that is what caused the injury. Lack of proper training, tools or equipment can be an example of the railroad’s negligence.
