Train Derailments & Collisions

Train derailments and collisions, either involving passengers or FELA employees, are especially devastating as multiple parties may be severely injured or killed simultaneously. The most common cause of train catastrophes include maintenance and operator error, but can also involve mechanical failure, defective navigational tools and/or errors, crew fatigue and, more recently, the increasing risk of injury or death caused by a terrorist act.

Faxon Law Group’s multi-district litigation attorneys have handled mass disaster and mass tort cases, consistently obtaining excellent results for our clients. Faxon Law Group’s lawyers led the combined litigation in Federal Court involving the derailment of the Metro-North New Haven Line train in Bridgeport and recovered a confidential settlement on behalf of a man who was suddenly struck and killed in Darien.

In addition to mass disasters, our team has obtained substantial, confidential settlements for several families involving crossing accidents, platform injuries and workplace accidents among train workers.
