Improper Train Maintenance

Des Moines Improper Train Maintenance Lawyer

Although less a fixture of modern life than merely a century ago, trains still play an important role in the transportation and distribution of agricultural produce and livestock throughout the Midwest. Furthermore, because the rails are in place, the train is still the preferred mode of long distance travel for some people. Train accidents are comparatively rare, but when they do happen the consequences can be absolutely devastating. One unfortunate and preventable cause of many of these crashes is the improper or insufficient maintenance of a train or the tracks and signals themselves.

If you have sustained bodily injury or property damage while traveling by train or being near to the tracks when a train crashed then you may be eligible to pursue a legal action.

Effects of Improper Train Maintenance

Drivers are required to ensure that their automobiles are roadworthy, and so too are railway companies and their employees responsible for inspecting the condition of trains and tracks for possible indications of danger. Sadly, in a misguided effort to cut corners and pad the bottom line, many of these enterprises fail to exercise an appropriate degree of caution and thoroughness in their monitoring or repairs. When improper train maintenance is performed, the effects may include:

  • Braking malfunctions
  • Air horn failures
  • Derailments
  • Unlinking of cars
