Las Vegas Train Accident Attorney

Trains have long been an integral part of Navada’s transportation infrastructure. The state is currently home to seven passenger carriers and four freight carriers, and the convenience they provide, whether by delivering goods or transporting passengers, is undeniable. Unfortunately, however, train accidents can and do happen.

According to the National Safety Council, train accidents caused 954 deaths in 2022, an 11% increase from 2021 and the highest number since 2007. The number of nonfatal injuries was much higher. From colliding with vehicles and pedestrians at railroad crossings to malfunctioning equipment and derailments, train accidents can result in extreme, life-altering injuries.
