Common Charleston Train Accident Causes
Every train accident is different, with varying circumstances to be considered. However, any Charleston train accident lawyer will tell you that there are some very common causes, usually preventable.
Here are just a few:
- derailments
- collisions with motor vehicles
- collisions with other trains
- runaway train cars
- failure to maintain stations and railways
- improperly parked train cars
- uncontrolled, sudden movements
- overlooked or ignored safety hazards
- inadequate crossing design and maintenance
- negligent or reckless train conductors
While train accidents are rare, they do still occur, and the injuries sustained are often quite devastating for accident victims and their families.
Thankfully, South Carolina law allows train accident victims to seek compensation in certain instances to cover the following:
- medical expenses
- missed wages
- loss of earning capacity
- physical or emotional pain and suffering
- diminished quality of life
- property damage or loss
- loss of consortium
- long-term care costs
