Railroad Accident Attorneys

Serving Throughout Houston, Texas & All of the United States

There are around 1,000 train accidents in the U.S. every year. These accidents are caused by a number of factors, but one thing they often have in common is serious injuries. Arnold & Itkin is proud to say we are here to protect the rights of injured railroad workers and accident victims.

As railroad jobs are industrial in nature, workers face more dangers than a typical office worker.

Considering that CNN named industrial machine repairman among the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the nation, it isn’t surprising that countless workers are hurt every year. Further, the BLS stated that rail yard engineers have much higher rates of occupational injuries than other jobs.

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an accident involving trains and railways, do not hesitate to get skilled, passionate legal representation. Our attorneys at Arnold & Itkin LLP can help. Call us today at (888) 493-1629 if you would like to schedule a completely free review of your case with our team of trial lawyers.

Common Causes of Train Accidents

Understanding How These Tragic Incidents Usually occur

The Federal Railroad Administration has reported that there were 1,979 train accidents in 2011 throughout the nation—resulting in almost 3 accidents per million train miles traveled. This resulted in 6 fatalities and more than 200 "nonfatal conditions." The primary types of train accidents included derailments, which accounted for over 70% of accidents, and collisions, which accounted for 7%.

There have been a number of notable derailments in recent months. There was an 18-car derailment in January 2020 (Dunn County, Wisconsin), a 7-car derailment off a bridge (Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia) and a 20-car derailment in December 2019 (Cincinnati, Ohio), and an 11-car derailment in November 2019 (Hempfield, Pennsylvania). With thousands of miles of track in need of maintenance, derailments like this may become even more common in the future.

The primary causes of train accidents include the following:

Human Factors – 36%
Track Defects – 34%
Equipment Defects – 12%
Signal Defects – 2%
Miscellaneous – 17%

Statistically, human error is the greatest contributing factor to all accidents. This can be anything from distracted train operation to lack of proper training or maintenance. The second leading cause is track defects, which often includes overgrown vegetation on the tracks. Train accidents can take place while trains are in motion, which typically results in the serious and fatal accidents. Accidents can also take place in rail yards while maintenance is being performed on trains. Also, it’s not uncommon is for railway workers to develop occupational diseases from exposure. Other common causes of railroad accidents include poor visibility at crossings and gradings (where the road and the railway intersect) and “slow orders”—sections of the track where maintenance workers are fixing a defect, but trains are still allowed to pass at a slower speed.

What Is FELA?

How Does It Help Me?

FELA stands for the Federal Employers Liability Act. This federal law was established in 1908 and is explained in full detail under 45 U.S.C. § 51 et seq. The Industrial Revolution in the U.S. affected every area of industry, with the railroad industry being no exception. Because of this rapid expansion, there was also an increase in accidents. There were scarcely any regulations for this occupation until President Harrison addressed Congress in 1889 by comparing the occupation of a rail worker to that of a soldier. Under FELA, a worker can sue an employer for negligence.

This means that railroad workers who are injured or become ill in conjunction with performing their job duties may bring lawsuits against a rail line to seek compensation for their damages.

Since federal regulations were imposed on this industry, there has been a significant decrease in the amount of accidents per year. Even so, FELA laws are only effective if they are enforced. Those who would like to take hold of their FELA rights should contact Arnold & Itkin as we are intensely familiar with this legislation.

What Causes Train Accidents

We provide insight into some of the most frequent causes of serious train and railroad accidents nationwide.

Defective Crossties

Crossties are rectangular supports that hold the rails up and keep them level. Defective crossties could be disastrous, leading to total derailment and dozens of injured passengers, motorists, and bystanders.
Poorly-Lined Switches

Switches are the junction at which trains can navigate from one track to another. Poor switches means trains may end up colliding into one another on the same track--or more commonly, derailing off of a set of badly aligned switches.
Speeding

Trains are designed to travel at a specific speed. Above that speed, the train's ability to stay on the rails and remain stable becomes weakened at best. Recent train accidents have been caused by trains traveling up to 50% faster than their intended design--causing terrible injuries and fatalities in the name of keeping on a schedule.
Failure to Apply Brakes

Conductors require a great deal of space and time to brake effectively. Their failure to remain alert and cognizant of the path ahead could result in severe and lasting injuries for both employees and passengers.

5 / 5 Stars

"I’ve never had any dealings with lawyers before, but what I feel like sets them apart is their determination to get to the bottom of it. Whether it’s worth suing or not suing, you're going to get a large amount of money or not, it didn’t matter—they wanted to get to the bottom of it. To find out if there’s any way they could help you. That, to me, sets them apart."
