Train accidents occur more often than you think. They are responsible for approximately 1,000 deaths in the United States each year. When a derailment or collision to another automobile occurs, trains can cause damage to property and injury to people. Railroad companies, as well as commuter rail lines, do not guarantee their passengers’ safety, but they are required to carry out high precautions to prevent any harm inflicted on their passengers.
Most train accidents tend to be more severe than automobile accidents due to the size and speed of the train.
