When you combine daily gridlock and rising fuel costs, one could easily understand why many people begin to look for alternative transportation besides driving, since the choice for millions of people seems to be between sitting in traffic daily or finding another solution. And that’s all while fuel costs continue to rise, too. One solution is commuter trains, but that, unfortunately, comes with the risk of a train accident occurring.
Although statistics generally show that train accidents occur at a much lower rate than automobile crashes, especially in an area like Phoenix, Arizona, when they do occur they tend to generate media coverage given their tendency to leave behind a wake of devastation.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a train crash, you or your loved one need to obtain medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you do not feel any physical symptoms, you should still be examined to make sure that no undetectable injuries did occur, just in case.
You should also contact a train accident attorney to schedule a free initial consultation. It’s important to know what your legal rights and options may be when a cause for the accident is determined.
