Train Accident
Train Accident
For the most part, trains are still a safe mode of transportation in Florida. However, when an accident does happen, they can have catastrophic consequences. With all the trains operating in Florida, including, many government-owned, and privately-owned train companies, accidents are bound to happen. The most common types of accident are derailments, lack of adequate warnings at the railroad crossings, trip and fall accidents in trains or the train station, unprotected high voltage cables, stepping on and off train accidents at train stations, mechanical or electrical failures of the train, or human errors made by railroad company employees and vendors. Train companies and railroad companies have a duty to make certain their customers and guests of the railroad are reasonably safe. Mr. Kennedy, who is also licensed to practice law in Washington D.C., represented the loved ones of someone killed in a moving train when it collided with a train stopped ahead of it. Tragically, the train operator along with eight passengers were killed, and 80 people were injured, making it the deadliest crash in the history of the Washington Metro. The hiring of an experienced lawyer who is a specialist in train accidents is vital. Contact the Kennedy Legal Team for a free consultation.
