D.C. and Northern Virginia Attorney Works with Clients Who Have Sustained Injuries from Train and Car Accidents
America is a bustling nation. We have jobs to get to, in our cars, on our trains, and we need to get there on time. As a result, there are more and more cars on the roads, and more and more commuter trains rushing in and out of our major cities. This also means more accidents. As we saw recently outside of New York City, train travel can be very dangerous, almost as dangerous as car travel.
The injuries you sustain in a car or train accident can be devastating, or even life-threatening. To ensure that you receive the care you need, contact experienced Virginia and D.C. car and train accident lawyer Michael Driscoll. He has the knowledge and skill you need to receive the compensation you deserve.
For a train passenger who has suffered injuries in a crash, the injuries sustained are usually similar to the injuries sustained in a car accident, and often includes things like whiplash, broken bones and head injuries. However, due to the lack of seatbelts on many trains, especially commuter railways that are full to the brim of standing passengers, injuries sustained during a train accident can be even more serious.
Another factor in injuries sustained in a train accident is the size and speed of the trains themselves, which can make injuries even more serious or life threatening. Like car accident victims, a train accident victim may need time to recover from his or her physical injuries but may also need to recover from the emotional pain and suffering he or she has experienced as a result of the accident.
What To Do
Due to the accident happening on a railway, whether private or government-owned, a train accident victim has a limited amount of time in which to file a civil suit, and like an insurance company, may require a representative to go to the scene itself. Similarly, if you are in a car accident, you will need to document all you can and inform your insurance company of the accident. If you have been in a car or train accident, it is important that you contact Attorney Michael Driscoll as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected.
