Injuries to Car and Truck Passengers

When a passenger vehicle is hit by a train at a railroad crossing, the injuries are often extremely serious and include head injuries, brain injuries and spinal injuries. Unfortunately, approximately 80 to 90 percent of people in these accidents die as a result of their injuries.

Railroad Worker Injuries

It is very common for railroad workers to suffer cumulative trauma injuries, which are basically caused by constant wear and tear on muscles, joints and other body parts. These types of injuries include:

  • Neck and back injuries
  • Ruptured or herniated discs
  • Shoulder injuries and torn rotator cuffs
  • Head and facial injuries
  • Hand injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Ankle and knees injuries
  • Whole body vibration injuries

Other very serious railroad worker injuries such as burns, amputations and wrongful death are also hazards of working in the railroad industry.
