Due to the increasing population, there is a need for expanded forms of mass transit. Train travel today is a necessary mode of transportation and millions of Americans rely on it as a daily means to commute between work and home. In California, the increased price of gasoline and congestion on our highways has more individuals than ever counting on CALTRANS and Metrolink commuter trains to get to and from work each day. In fact, ridership for Metrolink jumped to more than 4 million in 2008, a 60 percent increase over the past five years.
Unfortunately, with the increase of train travel there are also many train accidents which occur. Annually, there are about 3,000 train accidents and approximately 1,000 people will die as a result of train accidents.
The most common types of train accidents are collisions with other trains, collisions with passenger vehicles, and single train accidents. These types of accidents may be caused by defective railroad tracks, human error – including conductor’s negligence, mechanical failure or improperly loaded or too heavy cargo loads.
A single train accident can be much more catastrophic than an automobile accident or a truck accident, because trains travel at very high speeds and often transport a large number of people. A train crash may result in wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or other debilitating injuries.
