You either love them or you hate them, but trains are a vital part of our economy.

However, if you need a Train Accident Attorney, we are here to help.
You can count on having a qualified and experienced team by your side at The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C. Not only will we get to the bottom of what happened, but we want to secure compensation for all of your injury-related expenses.
We Have Trains
Most people do not think of trains unless they get stuck at tracks or are regular riders. However, they are all around us. In this area of the state, we have both passenger and cargo trains that get people and goods to and from their destinations. In the larger cities, you will find light rails and subway trains ready to get you from place to place.
But what happens if a crash occurs? Who could get injured?
In a train crash, both the passengers on board as well as anyone around a train can be seriously hurt. Trains are large vehicles and can cause major injuries. It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries to both passengers and third parties after a train crash:
- Broken or dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations or amputations
- Internal organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Spinal Cord Injuries
During the latest reporting year in the country, there were approximately 12,000 total train incidents causing almost 9,000 injuries and 800 fatalities. These numbers do not include public transportation light rail incidents.
Most train crashes could be prevented if rail companies and agencies performed proper inspections and maintenance. However, we know that train safety has not been a top priority when it comes to government funding. This has led to low inspection rates and a failure to upgrade outdated safety systems.
Conditions On A Train
When you use a train or a light rail, you have the right to be safe. If the inside of a train is poorly maintained or is in any way unsafe and you get Injured, you may be eligible for compensation through a Premises Liability Claim.
