Damages in Train Accident Cases

Train accidents often result in very severe injuries. Because of the size and speed of a train, the force of a collision or other type of accident can cause serious damage to cars and other vehicles, passengers in those vehicles, passengers on the train, and even nearby pedestrians. Train crashes are often so violent that people are killed—when this happens, the families of the victims can bring wrongful death claims against the party responsible for the accident.

If you have been injured in a train accident, you can bring a personal injury claim against the liable party. Chances are, your train accident injuries are very serious and caused you not only physical harm but may have also hurt you financially and emotionally. You deserve compensation for all damages suffered as a result of your injuries, and a skilled North Hollywood train injury lawyer can help make sure you get it.

At Walch Law, our talented team of attorneys will fight to obtain the compensation that you deserve. In California, if you are a victim of personal injuries in a train accident, you can be compensated for many different types of damages (or harm) your train accident injuries may have caused. You can receive financial compensation for:

• All medical bills—this not only includes costs for hospital stays, but also future costs for physical therapy, psychological therapy, dental work, and cosmetic work you may need as a result of your injuries;
• All past and future loss of earnings—If you missed work, or will miss work, as a result of your injuries, the responsible party must cover your losses. This includes compensation for any vacation or sick days you may have used to cover your absence while you recover from your injures.
• Loss of enjoyment of life—You can be compensated if your injuries cause physical harm that prevents you from participating in activities you enjoy or any other activities you missed out on;
• All past and future pain, suffering, emotional distress and inconvenience—Recovery from a train accident injury can be long and require extensive physical and emotional therapy. The party responsible for your injuries must cover the cost of this care;
