What Causes a Myrtle Beach Train Accident?
For most people, thoughts of a train accident conjure images of a collision involving a train and a car at a railroad crossing. While railroad crossing collisions can and do happen, there are a range of other injuries associated with train travel, including injuries from slips and falls, sudden braking, and unsecured overhead luggage.
Other causes include:
- collisions with other trains
- runaway train cars
- failure to properly maintain stations and railways
- improperly parked train cars
- uncontrolled, sudden movements
- overlooked or ignored safety hazards
- inadequate crossing design and maintenance
- negligent or reckless train conductors
- mechanical failure
Regardless of how minor or significant a train accident may be, when they do occur, passengers and others involved in the accident have the potential to sustain serious injuries, which can ultimately lead to life-altering financial loss.
Thankfully, in South Carolina, depending on the specifics of the incident, train accident victims can seek compensation to cover the following:
- medical expenses
- lost wages
- loss of earning capacity
- physical or emotional pain and suffering
- diminished quality of life
- property loss or damage
- loss of consortium
- long-term care costs
