These cases can involve transit agencies, railroad companies, equipment makers and others, and they are often governed by special rules. If you or a loved one was hurt in a train accident, Yerushalmi Law Firm can help you understand your options and pursue the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Causes of Train Accidents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Collisions at railroad crossings with cars, trucks or pedestrians<\/li>\n<li>Derailments caused by track defects or excessive speed<\/li>\n<li>Operator or conductor error and fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Poor maintenance of tracks, signals and crossing gates<\/li>\n<li>Defective equipment or brakes<\/li>\n<li>Platform accidents, including falls and crowding injuries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who May Be Responsible<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the facts, responsibility may rest with the railroad or transit operator, a government agency, a maintenance contractor or a manufacturer.
