Sacramento Light Rail Accidents

Transit riders can be injured by a variety of causes inside the train: sudden starts and stops, doors closing on them, and speedups and sudden slowdowns that cause people to lose balance and fall. Further, innocent bystanders can be struck by trains. Eliot Reiner, APLC can help you navigate this difficult time!

Outside the train, other kinds of incidents happen, including vehicles and pedestrians struck at crossings. Light rail trains do not derail often, or collide with other trains, but when they do, there are often fatalities and catastrophic injuries.

The law says they must "use the utmost care and diligence for safe carriage, must provide everything necessary for that purpose, and must exercise to that end a reasonable degree of skill."
