Depending on how the injury occurred, liability in train accidents can be assigned to any person or entity whose negligence contributed to your injury or the death of your loved one.
Liable parties might include:
A train passenger
The train driver
A pedestrian
The driver or passenger of another vehicle
A railroad employee
Train manufacturers
The railroad company
In order to have a qualifying train accident lawsuit, you will need to prove that another person’s careless actions resulted in your losses. At times, this might not be immediately obvious. A skilled train accident lawyer will be able to determine whether someone can be held liable for a train crash.
