Common Types of Collisions

Light Rail and Train Accidents Involving another Light Rail or Train

Common Causes

Common causes of these types of accidents can be a result of the following:

• Conductor negligence may lead to colliding into a stopped train
• Poorly maintained tracks may lead to trains jumping the tracks and colliding with each other
• Operator negligence may lead to light rails and trains being directed and put into each other’s path

Injuries sustained during these collisions will range from minor to severe. Serious injuries and wrongful death are most likely to occur when trains traveling in opposite directions collide.

These accidents are typically caused by a car driver:

• stopping on the tracks believing that the vehicles ahead will move farther forward

These actions may result in:

• serious injury
