Railroad Accidents

Railroad accidents occur with alarming frequency in the United States. Many are not large accidents and involve no fatalities and therefore do not receive national coverage. However sometimes railroad accidents do result in lost lives or even hazardous material spills.

From January to December of 2001 there were 3,023 railroad accidents in America. These accidents caused 11,956 casualties and were the direct cause of 971 fatalities.

Also, from January to December of 2001 there were 3,237 highway crossing accidents were automobiles and trains had accidents or collisions, creating dangers for non railway passengers as well as the passengers on the train.

Railroad accidents usually consist of derailments, collisions with passenger vehicles, collisions with other trains, or accidents due to mechanical failure. Often it is the railroads’ negligence or the operator's negligence that leads to these accidents, which means they could have been potentially avoided had the railroad acted properly.

In many cases, these deadly accidents are due to the negligence of the train operator.
