What Are Causes of Los Angeles Train Accidents?

Train accidents are most often caused by:

• Train collisions with another train;
• Train derailment off of railroad tracks;
• Collision with a car or bus on the railroad tracks;
• Mechanical failure of the railroad tracks;
• Mechanical failure of the train, MetroLink or subway;
• Inadequate security personnel on the train;
• Corrosion of the train's safety equipment;
• Corrosion of or unmaintained railroad tracks; and
• Train conductor negligence.

Most train crash derailments often stem from the negligence of either the train engineer, the train conductor or safety officer who permits the rails to deteriorate below legal safety standards resulting in a train accident in Los Angeles.  As a patron or passenger on your local commuter train, you may recover for your serious train accident injuries.
