Train derailment takes one life, causes serious injury for three others

A deadly train derailment in Illinois recently took the life of an innocent woman who was waiting in a car for the train to pass through crossings, according to the NY Times. 

The train was carrying thousands of gallons of ethanol, when the train went off the tracks for an unknown reason, causing the 14 of the 114 cars to catch fire. Three other people were able to escape from the car while it was being hit with airborne railroad ties, and were taken to the hospital in critical condition. Hundreds of homes surrounding the train track had to be evacuated. 

If you or someone you know has suffered an injury while working on the railroad, contact railroad accident injury lawyer Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.

Mr. Beckcom wrote a special report for injured railroad workers called "Five Ways to Derail Your Railroad Injury Case" which provides information to injured railroad workers that the railroad claims agent does not want you to know.

Mr. Beckcom is board-certified in personal injury law and handles injury cases against the railroads on behalf of injured railroad workers and their families. 

Mr. Beckcom believes that injured railroad workers deserve the same level of legal help that the huge railroad companies receive. Mr. Beckcom's goal is to "level the playing field" for the injured worker and obtain the best possible settlement in the shortest amount of time.
