    Common Train Accident Injuries in Nashville

    With railroads becoming more common in Nashville, it’s not unusual to see accident rates increasing. While most rail lines are proud of their safety record, accidents can still happen. Unfortunately, the majority of train accidents result in severe injuries. Some common injuries that occur in train accidents are:

    • Fractures. You can break a bone due to the trauma or force caused by an accident.
    • Whiplash. Did you know it is also known as “railway spine” because it was a common injury on trains?
    • Back injuries. You can sprain a muscle or ligament in your back, fracture a rib, or tear a disc between your vertebrae due to the force of an accident.
    • Spinal column injury. Any injury to your spinal cord or nerves can lead to chronic pain and impaired mobility.
    • Traumatic brain injury. Violent shaking or blows to the head caused by train wrecks often cause traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms include impaired memory and problems talking, moving, or speaking.
    • Amputation. The loss of a limb is always devastating and has a lasting effect on your life.

    If you’re injured in a train accident, the first step is to seek immediate medical attention. Even if you don’t have obvious injuries, you still want to make an appointment with a physician. Some injuries may not show signs or symptoms for a few days. Besides, it’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your health.
