Transportation Tragedies
The frequency with which people indulge in travel across substantial distances has in some measure obscured the dangerous nature of these endeavors. The human body is not built to withstand impacts at high speeds and despite the existence of modern safety technologies, it is an all-too-common occurrence for an accident to result in the tragic death of one or more persons involved. Often, there is some underlying negligence that creates the conditions in which an accident might be more likely.
If your loved one has been killed in an accident caused by a commercial or municipal transportation company’s negligence, then you may have grounds upon which to file a lawsuit.

The Effects of Negligence
One universal and certain demand of any job in the transportation industry is that the pilots, engineers, and drivers who handle the vehicles involved must always give their full attention to the job at hand. The need for this focus was clearly demonstrated when a tragic commuter rail crash in Los Angeles appeared to be linked to the engineer’s text messaging near the time of the accident.
Negligent operation of a commercial or municipal vehicle may lead to needless fatalities in the following circumstances:
- Operating while intoxicated or distracted
- Lack of adequate training and/or certification
- Defective maintenance
- Vehicular defect or malfunction
