Train Accident Lawyers & Attorneys

Urban population in the United States is increasing at unprecedented levels and with the increase in population comes a need for expanded forms of mass transit.  Train travel is now a necessary conveyance for millions of Americans.  With the expansion of light rail in Minnesota, commuter train travel has increased dramatically in the last decade, as have the number of train related accidents.

There are hundreds of thousands of miles of track throughout the country.  Train accidents are regular occurrences in the United States.  Trains are frequently involved in accidents that critically injure passengers and innocent bystanders.  According to the National Safety Council, each year approximately 4,000 train/vehicle collisions occur at railroad crossings.  These 4,000 collisions result in about 400 fatalities and 1,100 injuries. 

Railroad companies must comply with strict safety standards and are ultimately responsible for passenger safety.  Many train accidents, however, involve a government owned or operated company.  Railroad companies must comply with specific guidelines including strict time constraints and accident reporting requirements.  Therefore, it is important that you immediately discuss your potential case with experienced Minnesota train accident attorneys/lawyers.
