Who Might Be Liable for Damages After a California Train Accident?

In most personal injury claims arising from automobile accidents, the liable party is usually the driver who caused the crash. But identifying liability is more complicated in train accident cases because it is common for parties other than the driver to be held liable for damages.

Attorney Alan Daneshrad will conduct a thorough investigation to identify all potentially liable parties, which may include:

• The Government Entity or Company That Owns the Track: Government entities and companies that own train tracks have a duty to keep those tracks in a safe condition.
• The Public Agency or Company That Operates or Owns the Train: Train companies are required to keep their equipment, rail cars, and trains in good working order. They must also hire qualified employees, train them properly, and provide adequate supervision. If they fail in any of these duties and this leads to an accident, any victims who are injured as a result may have grounds for a claim against the public agency or company that owns or operates the train.
• The Company That Manufactured Defective Equipment: Equipment malfunctions are a primary contributing factor in train wrecks. If your accident was caused by a part defect that occurred when the part was being manufactured, you may have grounds for a claim against the manufacturer.
• The Driver of Another Automobile: If you were injured in a train accident that involved another vehicle that was on the tracks, you may have grounds for a claim against the driver or owner of that vehicle.
