Casey Jones is Still Rollin’ Along.

Maybe we have forgotten how frequently railway accidents occur in the United States.  Each year nearly 1,000 people are killed in train related accidents.  U S train and railroad accident statistics estimate that almost every two weeks a train derailment leads to a chemical spill as well.  Some of these spills are so serious that they require local residents to evacuate.

Here are some of the scenarios that occur on America’s railways –

1.  A Derailment

2.  Collisions between two trains

3.  Train vs. automobile

4.  Trains injuring people

There are Still a Lot of Train Tracks Out There.

The Great Southwest is still dotted with tracks and high-speed trains.  The era of train travel is far from over in our wide-open spaces, especially as it pertains to the movement of goods.  When it is train vs. almost any other vehicle imaginable the choo-choo always wins!  Don’t try to outrun or outsmart one, they are on-track to destroy anything in front of them.

There are four major reasons for train accidents in the Great Southwest –

1.  The equipment that controls them

2.  The condition of the tracks that they run on

3.  Signals at crossings

4.  Human error

There are about 6000 train crashes per year in the United States resulting in nearly 3000 injuries or deaths.  If you or loved one has been the victim of a train accident in the Great Southwest call Albuquerque personal injury law firm Ken Wagner Law.  We have a team who will investigate and pursue the compensation that you deserve.  Call (505) 242-6300.

Railway Accidents.

I know, it seems like these hardly ever happen.  Wait, if you have ever gone to an Isotopes home game the average attendance is just over 5600 fans.  Now, add a few thousand to that number and THAT is the number of Americans injured in railroad accidents each year!  Does that surprise you?

If you live in the Great Southwest, it really shouldn’t with rail lines dotting the landscape.  In 2008 the Rail Safety Improvement Act was implemented to improve train safety.  Yet, the number of injuries continues to remain relatively the same…and will never be entirely eliminated.

I’ve Been Hurtin’ on the Railroad.

No mistake here, the headline refers to the hazards of railroad accidents in America.  It is still a very real situation.  In The Great Southwest trains are traveling at high speeds every day.  Did you know that in 2016 there were more railroad injuries than any year in the last decade?  You would think that it is getting safer, but it’s not!

Why is this?  Well, train usage continues to increase in New Mexico and the surrounding states.  Here are some of the main reasons for train accidents –

1.  The structure and maintenance of the tracks

2.  The equipment of the railroad company and its age

3.  A faulty signal

4.  Of course, human error

I Hear the Train a Comin’

With fond memories of Johnny Cash, we wanted you to remember that in a confrontation between a train and whatever you are driving…you lose!  There are about ten thousand train accidents per year in the United States.  Train usage actually continues to grow in the Great Southwest.

There are four main causes of train accidents –

1. A mistake by a human

2. The structure and maintenance of the tracks themselves

3. The very equipment that is on the train

4. The proper or improper functioning of the signals
