When you think of Florida, you typically think about palm trees and boats – not trains – but Florida is actually one of the most dangerous states in the U.S. when it comes to the number of train accidents, injuries, and fatalities that occur. In fact, Florida’s Brightline is the most dangerous in the nation, involved in 57 deaths on its tracks since 2017 alone. Many train accidents are a result of driver error or carelessness, but train operators and companies have a legal obligation to do everything in their power to keep their passengers and vehicles in their paths safe. If you were injured in a train collision that was not your fault, call our North Tampa train accident injury lawyers immediately to schedule a free consultation. We can explain your options and fight for the justice, closure, and compensation you deserve!
You Shouldn’t Have To Pay For Injuries You Didn’t Cause. Let Our Law Firm Recover A Fair Settlement So You Don’t Have To!
Any train accident is likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Whether it was caused by derailment, mechanical failure, a stalled vehicle on the tracks, signal defects, a faulty crossing, improperly maintained tracks, or something else (such as distracted or intoxicated driving by the conductor or driver of another vehicle), a collision of this nature could leave you suffering financially as well as enduring physical agony. Depending on the extent of your injuries, you may have to pay thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for:
- ambulatory transport or air transport to the nearest hospital
- imaging tests (X-rays, MRIs, etc.)
- bloodwork & transfusions
- surgeries
- hospitalization
- rehabilitation
- chiropractic care
- physical therapy
- mental health counseling
- medications
- copays
- deductibles
- medical devices
- specialized care
- emergency dental work & subsequent dental care
- lost wages (for the time you have to take off work to recover)
- and more.
Train accidents are more likely than other types of minor collisions to leave accident victims permanently disabled. Sadly, the injuries you sustained may never fully heal, leaving you unable to work and requiring lifelong treatment.
Your health insurance may cover a part of the costs you incur, but it won’t cover all of it, and you shouldn’t have to pay a penny out of your own pocket if someone else’s negligence led to the crash. However, train companies have large legal teams, and there are many laws in place that protect their industry. Insurance companies are also experts at paying victims as little as possible to protect their bottom line, which is why you need to have a team of experienced attorneys on your side who can stand up for your rights. Our North Tampa train accident injury lawyers can advocate for you to win the full amount your injuries are worth!
