Understanding How Brightline Train Accidents Occur

Brightline trains travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. At full speed, it can take them a full quarter-mile to come to a complete stop, often making it impossible to avoid collisions with cars or pedestrians on the tracks. These collisions are frequently fatal.

Negligence often plays a role in these accidents. Vehicle crossings may lack adequate safety measures to protect drivers and pedestrians. For more information on train safety standards, you can visit the Federal Railroad Administration website.

Accidents can also occur onboard the train itself. Slips, trips, and falls can cause serious injuries, leading to premises liability claims. No matter the circumstances, lawyer Patrick Tighe can help you pursue accountability from any and all parties whose negligence contributed to the accident.
