Seattle Train Accidents
In a Train Wreck? You May Be Eligible for Compensation!
Trains are popular in the Pacific Northwest. From Amtrak to the Monorail, freight trains to Sounder trains, people are coming and going at all hours of the day and night. Millions of people use trains to commute to and from work, to save money on gas, and to save the environment. But what should be easy transit can turn deadly in an instant. Approximately 600 people are killed every year in train accidents in the US, and another 2,500 are injured. If you’ve been injured in a train accident, don’t hesitate to contact Lerner and Rowe. Our empathetic and professional team is ready to handle any case, and our main goal is to get you the financial compensation you deserve. We provide excellent client care, and have your best interests at heart.
Seattle Train Accident Injuries
Seattle train accidents can be minor or catastrophic, with only a few bumps and bruises or dozens of fatalities. It’s always best to see a doctor immediately after you’re in an accident, whether you’re presenting symptoms or not. Sometimes problems can take several days to show up, and you want to have all your medical records ready in case they do. Commuter trains like Amtrak can reach up to 90 mph, while freight trains up to a similar 80 mph. Regardless of whether you’re a rider, a pedestrian, or in another vehicle, that’s a lot of tonnage at an alarming speed, and injuries can be devastating.
Some injuries from Seattle train accidents may include (but aren’t limited to):
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Broken bones
- Fractured bones
- Amputation
- Disfigurement
- Torn tendons
- Catastrophic injury

Types of Seattle Train Accidents
Many different things can go wrong with a train, whether it’s a freight or commuter train. The train can derail off the track, collide with a vehicle, collided with another train, or even hit a pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist. Mechanical failure, failure to provide safety mechanisms like positive train control systems, poorly maintained lights or marked crossings, heavy cargo, and human negligence can contribute to train accidents.
