Responsible Parties in Light Rail and Train Accidents

There are many factors that can lead to light rail and train accidents. As such, there may be many parties responsible for the accident. Our Light Rail and Train Accident Lawyers will be able to help guide a light rail or train accident victim through the complicated process of finding who is at fault for your injuries.

Responsible Party

Here are a few examples:

1. If pedestrians, passengers in a car or bus, or passengers on board a light rail or train are injured in a light rail or train accident, they may have a claim against the conductor and railway owner.
2. If the light rail or train accident occurred due to defective or malfunctioning equipment on the light rail, train, or tracks, then the injured parties may have a claim against the manufacturers of that equipment.
3. If a car driver attempts to beat the train across the tracks and causes the accident, then the injured parties may have a claim against the car driver.

Claims against Government Agencies or Public Entities

When a government or public employee or agency is negligent and causes an injury, there is a markedly different process involved as compared to a claim against an individual or private business. There is a much shorter time frame to bring a claim and a lawsuit. Therefore, there is an increased urgency to obtain legal counsel to timely submit a claim against a government agency or public entity. A more detailed explanation is available on our Government or Public Entities Claims Pages.
