Southern California Train Crash Attorneys

A California train crash is one of the most devastating things
one will ever have the misfortune of being in, or even seeing and
hearing. If you have been in a train crash, train accident, or
Metrolink wreck mishap, you need the experienced train attorneys at
the Law Offices of Michael P. Ehline. Our local trial lawyers bring
you this educational web page to show you why you will need a train
attorney to litigate your Metrolink accident or other railroad
accident case. CalTrans is often involved in these types of serious
injury cases and could quite possibly be a named defendant.

Train wrecks occur often throughout the world, in Southern
California, and throughout these United States. A train crash does
not always result in wrongful death. But when there are deaths
involving a train crash, such as the September 12, 2008
Chatsworth train accident, they are usually sensational topics
in the news media and often spotlighted by attorneys and consumer
groups. Train accidents often result in
childhood injuries. But the above addresses more a passenger
train scenario, such as a Metrolink wreck. Often, a train crash can
result in the spillage of deadly toxins, solid and gas. Sometimes
railroad crashes will contaminate whole neighbor-hoods and cause
birth defects and wrongful death. These are sometimes referred to
as hazardous material accidents, or chemical spills.

Cal-Trans

Experienced train crash attorneys and Caltrans negligence attorneys are a
requirement when going up against the defense attorneys employed by
the organizations like Metrolink, or Cal Trans, who caused the
negligence that lead to the accidents.

In the time of 1960-2001 trains wrecks resulted in 13,136 fatal
injuries. In fact, that calculates out to 325 fatalities per year
for that time period. This might not seem like a lot, but there
were far less deaths on aircraft for that same time frame. (3,061
fatal aircraft injuries from 1960-2001 circa.) Trains are far more
dangerous than aircraft according to statistics. Arguably, due to
the war on terror, the World Trade Center resulted in 3000 plus
fatalities, but even with that, trains are still more dangerous,
assuming our government ignores political correctness and keeps
Islamic militants off of aircraft in the future.

Metrolink

Due to recent population explosions in the Southern California
and the United States, transportation is also forced to reconsider
the rail as a major form of people moving. For example: MetroLink
is a California “commuter train” that actually goes
underground and above ground. This form of transportation allows a
commuter to take his car to a designated parking lot and board the
MetroLink. This saves gas and is also convenient and often allows
one to work from a laptop, etc. MetroLink crashes are on the rise
and are often the source of major injury and death.

United States Train Crash Statistics-An
Overview:

3,000 train crashes per year;

1,000 train crash deaths per year;

Approximately every 14 days there is a toxic chemical spill.
This often results in forced evacuations of the general public and
homeowners.

Every year, at least 600 rail-stations and thousands of miles
of railroad tracks are in use throughout the United States.

It is easy to see how toxic chemicals could spill when the
statistics alone show the probability of a train crash. But
passenger trains also derail as well. Thus, there are many
potential ways one could be injured in a train crash.

Train crash derailments often occur from negligence. Sometime
the train engineer (train driver) , or conductor, or safety
officer, allows the rail maintenance to fall below the legal
standards. Sometimes unsafe train engineers will be negligence and
cause the train crash. Often a passenger vehicle will get hit by an
oncoming train. In fact, a while ago a disturbed suicidal person
parked his passenger truck on the railroad tracks. This caused and
contributed to a Metrolink train crash. The MetroLink train then
derailed causing serious injuries.
