How Do Train Accidents In Glendora Happen?  

According to statistics from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), close to 600 people are injured in train accidents in California each year. This represents one of the highest rates in the country and considering the amount of train traffic and rail construction projects going on in our area, residents of Glendora are at an increased risk.  

When train accidents in Glendora do occur, it is often due to negligence on the part of the train company or their employees. Common causes in cases Harris Personal Injury Lawyers represent include:  

• Reckless operations on the part of the train conductor, such as speeding, driving distracted, and being under the influence; 
• Mistakes and errors on the part of attendants, signalers, and other supporting staff; 
• Train malfunctions due to improper maintenance and faulty parts; 
• Negligence on the part of the train company, such as failing to vet their employees or monitor daily operations. 

While you focus on recovering from your injuries, our Glendora train accident attorneys focus on conducting a thorough investigation into your case. We determine how your train accident happened and who can be held liable in a claim.  

How Can I Get Compensation For Train Accident Injuries?  

When train accidents in Glendora happen due to the negligence of the train company or their employees, you have the right to hold them accountable for the expenses you incur as a result. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team can guide you in filing an insurance claim. We negotiate with insurance representatives on your behalf with the goal of getting you the maximum amount in any settlements.  

In the event the train company disputes your claim, you can count on our Glendora train accident attorneys to take additional legal actions as needed. This includes filing a civil lawsuit against the conductor, train company executives, and others who may be responsible. Under the California Civil Code, compensation available through a train accident lawsuit includes:  

• Economic damages: This covers tangible losses you suffer. It includes your current medical costs and lost wages as well as any future medical expenses and lost income you are likely to incur.  
• Non-economic damages: This covers intangible losses you suffer. It includes compensation for your pain, suffering, and any loss of enjoyment in life your injuries result in.  
• Punitive damages: This is an additional amount we can push for in cases where the train company or their employees acted in a particularly willful and negligent manner. It is designed to punish them and prevent others from engaging in similar behavior.
