Railroad Conductor Error

A train accident is one of the most devastating accidents a person can experience. The consequences are almost always severe, and can include:

• Permanently disabling injuries
• Staggering medical costs
• Psychological problems, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Loss of life

In our society, we like to think that people who have been injured must have been doing something against the rules, that the victims must be to blame. The truth is that even passengers who carefully observe safety protocol can still be seriously injured by a reckless or negligent conductor.

Determining Responsibility

At the offices of Jacksonville conductor error attorney Don Guthrie, we believe in holding people accountable for the injuries they have caused. A train conductor can seriously endanger passengers and nearby pedestrians by:

• Failing to observe proper safety protocol
• Failing to pay close attention while operating the train
• Failing to respond to an unforeseen circumstance correctly
• Operating under the influence of alcohol or other drugs
