Riverside Train Accident Attorney
Trains travel more than 1.5 million miles in the United States each day. Although trains are one of the oldest means of transportation, and widely considered to be safe, collisions and crashes frequently occur, taking hundreds lives and seriously injuring thousands more each year. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, 38% of railroad accidents are due to human factors, such as negligence. On September 12, 2008, one of the greatest railroad tragedies in recent history happened, when a Metrolink train collided with a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth, CA, taking 25 lives and injuring many more.
