A devastating accident occurred in Prospect Park recently. A freight train collided with a vehicle. The accident is still under investigation, and limited information was shared about what occurred or who was at fault. At Kwartler Manus, our Prospect Park car accident lawyers fight for your rights after an accident with a train.
Car Flips After Accident
It is unclear why a car was on the train tracks at the time of the accident. What is known is that the car was struck and ended up off the side of the track, potentially saving the lives of those involved.
The collision occurred at Amosland Road near Baltimore Avenue. No one was reportedly injured in the accident. Police were still investigating what occurred to determine who may have been at fault.
Fault at Train Tracks
It is unclear what caused this accident. In some cases, train accidents happen as a result of equipment failures, such as warning signs that fail to alert the drivers nearby of the impending train. Other times, drivers may stop on the road or try to skirt around the railroad signs to beat the train. These actions can be highly dangerous.
If you are in an accident you believe is due to the negligence of the train operator or company, it is best to leave your case in the hands of an experienced lawyer. It can be highly difficult to prove fault. Kwartler Manus is happy to provide a full free case review to uncover what occurred in your incident. Contact us now to learn more about your rights.
