Bullet Train Accident Attorney

When you think about the harm you might sustain while on a bullet train, you imagine only the carnage of a severe train accident. However, there are countless other, less severe injuries that can also occur while a passenger is on a bullet train. It is critical you be aware of the many common safety hazards you and your loved ones could encounter on a bullet train to ensure you focus on your surroundings and avoid these issues:

• Slip and fall incidents – these accidents can be caused by water or other drinks spilled on floors, food that was dropped on the floor, damaged flooring surfaces, or floor mats that are missing, damaged, or saturated
• Trip and fall accidents – these scary incidents can occur when items are left on the floor, blocking walkways. Electrical cords or hoses are not properly stowed, or flooring surfaces are damaged or missing trim or finish components
• Injuries from falling objects – often lighting fixtures, décor items, or other gear stowed in shelves and in storage compartments can shift and fall when the train is in transit, resulting in injuries to passengers

These are only a few of the common bullet train injuries that occur. Other issues more specific to bullet trains include the train making a sudden stop or lurching due to uneven increases in speed that can cause passengers to stumble, fall, or be hurt by items falling or moving swiftly through the cabin. While some of these hazards result in only minor harm, it is also possible to suffer severe injuries due to a bullet train accident.

Most passengers think that a slip and fall on a train will result in only minor harm. However, that is only the case part of the time. You might be fortunate and escape with only these less severe injuries:

• Bruises
• Minor lacerations
• Sprains or strained muscles

What is very upsetting to many train passengers is reading the list of common yet much more severe injuries they could sustain, such as:

• Shattered or broken bones
• Partial or complete amputations
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that often involve damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Dislocated joints and damage to the soft connective tissue of the joints
• Soft tissue and nerve damage that can be permanent
• Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
• Injuries to the face that involve the delicate facial skin, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth
• Head injuries ranging from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a traumatic brain injury

If you are a victim involved in any bullet train accident, please seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure you did not suffer any harm. Many victims experience shock and adrenaline after such a harrowing experience that masks their injuries until later and does not get the immediate medical care needed to provide the best outcome for healing and recovery. Then, please contact DTLA Law Group to learn more about the process and potential of a lawsuit to secure compensation to cover your expenses and losses caused by the bullet train injuries you sustained.

Much like when you visit a property owner or operated by another person, they have an obligation to ensure your safety while in their facility or space. So, the company operating the bullet train must provide a safe setting and eliminate common issues like damaged flooring or broken safety handrails. They also are obligated to ensure the vehicle, in this case the train, is operating correctly and will not make sudden stops and lurches that could result in passenger injuries. If the staff and owners of the train fail to meet these obligations, they can be found negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the staff’s negligence caused or contributed to a passenger injury, the train owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses suffered by the victim due to their injuries. Please reach out to the expert DTLA Law Group bullet train accident attorneys to discuss the facts of your case and if there is reason to consider filing a lawsuit to seek compensation for your losses.

Victims of personal injuries need to understand that the compensation awarded for an injury lawsuit is not based on predetermined values or amounts. Each case is carefully evaluated, and the compensation awarded to the victim is calculated using the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. Working closely with your DTLA Law Group bullet train accident attorney, you will compile all the documentation needed to verify your allowable expenses and ensure you are fully compensated for the financial impact of your bullet train injuries. The items commonly used in the process are:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the bullet train accident
• Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevent you from returning to your regular job until you are fully recovered and medically cleared to return to work
• The cost of all current and estimated future medical expenses related to your bullet train injuries
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your bullet train accident lawsuit

In most personal injury incidents, the victim is given two years from the date of their injuries to file a claim with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and when it expires, the victim loses the right to seek compensation and justice for the harm sustained in that incident. However, in cases where the blame for your harm falls on a government entity or one of its employees, such as a train operated by the state or federal government or one of their agencies, you have only six months from the date of the injury incident to file your claim with the court. Please contact DTLA Law Group immediately to discuss your claim and verify the time remaining to file your lawsuit so you do not miss this critical opportunity.
