Train accidents are not as common as other types of traffic accidents, but they are more likely to result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities. If you or someone you love was hurt in a train accident, or if you lost a loved one in a train crash, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Our Orlando train accident lawyers at Burnetti, P.A. can help you understand your rights and guide you through the legal process ahead.
Train accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. When negligence is involved, victims can hold the at-fault party accountable and seek compensation for their damages.
Common causes of train accidents include:
Liability in a train accident will depend on the cause of the accident.
For example, if a train accident is caused by a train conductor’s negligence, the conductor and/or the conductor’s employer may be liable. If a train accident is caused by defective train parts, the manufacturer and/or distributor of the parts may be liable. If a train accident is caused by a track defect, the company responsible for maintaining the tracks may be liable. And so on.
At Burnetti, P.A., our Orlando train accident attorneys can conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of your accident to determine who is liable. We can then help you file a personal injury or wrongful death claim to pursue the compensation you are owed.
“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”
Train accident victims can seek both economic and non-economic damages in a personal injury claim. Economic damages are those that are quantifiable and have a specific dollar value, such as medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages are those that are not as easily quantifiable and do not have a specific dollar value, such as pain and suffering.
Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to various types of compensation, including but not limited to:
When you turn to our firm, our attorneys can review your case and help you understand what types of damages you may be eligible to recover.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those involving train accidents, is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. If a train accident resulted in a wrongful death, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is generally 2 years from the date of the person’s death. There are exceptions to these deadlines, however, so it is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
