ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI TRAIN ACCIDENT LAWYERS
Trains help commuters across Missouri and Southern Illinois get to work and companies transport millions of dollars’ worth of goods every day. But recent news headlines show that train accidents can happen at anytime, and they often result in severe injuries or even death.
Causes of Train Accidents
Train accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, such as:
- Derailments
Poorly engineered track components, railway obstructions, or environmental damage to train equipment can cause trains to run off their tracks. - Improper Operation
Speeding, signal errors, or mistakes behind the controls may lead to accidents with motor vehicles or other trains. - Poor Maintenance
Accidents can happen when railroad companies fail to maintain important safety equipment, such as train braking systems or railway crossing signals.
