Fatal Train Crashes in the Bay Area
According to accident reports released by California authorities, nearly 40,000 motor vehicle collisions resulted in fatalities or major injuries on Bay Area roadways during the last five years alone. From long-term physical problems to emotional trauma and even serious injury or death, these incidents caused by cars, trucks, and other large commercial vehicles, including planes, trains, and 18-wheelers, are devastating.
Though they may occur less often than other types of wrecks, almost 1,000 railroad fatalities across the country in only one year. With millions traveling by train in California daily, the risk of these deadly accidents for Golden State commuters can be elevated.
Overall, it's clear that serious vehicle accidents causing injuries or death are an unfortunately common part of life throughout California, especially in large city centers like Los Angeles, Sacramento, and the many busy urban regions that comprise the Bay Area. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of individuals travel into San Francisco daily from surrounding towns, such as San Jose, Oakland, and Vallejo.
When victims are injured as a result of another party's negligence, whether they're struck by a car or train, hit on their bicyclist, or involved in a wreck on public transit, they may have to deal with large commercial insurance companies, serious physical pain, and expensive hospital bills.
