Trains can weigh in excess of 400,000 pounds. Because of their weight and size, train accidents can cause serious or fatal injuries. Another factor that determines the extent of injuries is the speed of the train.
The severity of the injury depends on the type of collision. Crossing crashes are some of the worst types of train accidents. They are likely to cause serious injury or death.
Derailments are extremely dangerous as well. If a train derails at high speed, it may cause death or extreme damage to property.
Some injuries that are frequently suffered in a train accident are traumatic brain injuries, amputations, spinal cord damage, and broken bones.
