Train accidents can result in serious injuries. Accident victims may suffer a fracture or broken bone, soft tissue contusion (such as a muscle sprain or strain), traumatic head injury, or internal injury, to name only a few. Assuming an accident victim can prove all of the other legal elements of a train accident claim, train accident victims are eligible to pursue monetary compensation for their injuries.
The types and amounts of monetary damages that an accident victim can recover depend on the severity of the injuries sustained, as well as how the accident victim suffered injuries. Accident victims can recover monetary compensation for all related medical treatment and procedure bills, lost earnings, pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, inability to use a body part, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of spousal support and companionship connected with the train accident.
