Los Angeles Train Accident and MetroLink Crash Attorney

More Than 1,000 Train Accident Deaths Occur Each Year in the United States

There are over 3,000 train accident crashes each year with approximately 1,000 train deaths - or about three wrongful deaths per train accident. Thousands of passengers ride trains in and around Los Angeles either for a casual outing or as a commuter train to work.  When train accidents occur, it is important to contact an attorney to represent your legal rights against the train operators, and in some cases Los Angeles or the State of California.

There are many factors which could cause a MetroLink crash, and similarly there are many people who can be held responsible for any injuries suffered when involved in an accident.  The railroad company, as well as their insurance company will similarly be responsible for any loss of income, pain and suffering, and medical expenses which were a direct result of this train accident.  By hiring our Los Angeles train accident lawyer, you will be able to focus on your recovery and our attorneys will fight for you.

The train, railroad or MetroLink company is responsible for maintaining the tracks upon which the train runs, as well as the train itself in which you are a passenger.  While the train company can be held responsible for injuries which are a direct result from the train or the railroad tracks, it is the responsibility of the drivers of motor vehicles to obey the posted warnings of an oncoming train.  However, cars and trucks often attempt to beat a train to a train rail-road crossing by going under or around the intersection cross-bars after they've been lowered, or even as they begin to lower.  No matter the circumstances which caused the train accident, it is the responsibility of the train conductor to always be aware of potential dangers, where a MetroLink conductor must mitigate, minimize and reduce any chances of injuries to the train passengers.  If the conductor is acting in a negligent manner or not watching the railroad tracks ahead, you may also recover compensation from the train company who was employing the negligent MetroLink conductor.  If you have any questions regarding your train collision, our train accident attorney will be able to answer your questions, and discuss what you can expect to recover for your serious train accident injuries.
