Recoverable Damages After a Miami Train Accident

If we can build a case to prove the train operator or owner acted negligently and caused the accident and your injuries, you are eligible to pursue and recover compensation for the expenses and damages you endured because of the accident, such as:

• Treatment costs for all injuries, complications, and related care
• Ongoing care costs
• Lost wages and benefits
• Diminished earning capacity, when applicable
• Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injuries, the accident, or getting treatment
• Property damages, such as replacing your vehicle
• Pain and suffering damages
• Other noneconomic damages

If your loved one passed away following a train accident in Miami or elsewhere in South Florida, our team may be able to help you pursue a payout through a wrongful death case. We can explain if you are eligible to take legal action and who we can recover compensation from. Reach out to us today to learn more.

Identifying the Liable Party in a Miami Train Accident Case

When a train causes a person or people to suffer injuries, those victims have a right to pursue compensation from the train’s owner and operator. This applies to:

• Passengers on the train
• Those in vehicles hit by the train
• Those on foot, bicycle, or another non-motorized vehicle injured by the train
• The family of those who died from their injuries following a train accident

These cases may be especially complex because of the high likelihood that the train owner is a large corporation or government agency. In Miami, train operators include:

Private Rail Transportation Companies

• Brightline, owned by Florida East Coast Industries
• Amtrak
• Freight train operators

Government Agencies That Provide Rail Transit

• Metrorail, operated by Miami-Dade Transit
• Tri-Rail, operated by South Florida Regional Transportation Authority

Our Miami personal injury attorneys can help you identify the liable party in your Miami train accident case and take the right steps to preserve your right to pursue compensation. If your accident involved a Metrorail train, Tri-Rail train, or other train operated by a government agency, the deadline to file a notice of claim is short. For this reason, we encourage you to contact a Miami train accident lawyer as soon as possible following your accident.

There Is a Statute of Limitations in Miami Train Accident Cases

In general, you have four years from the date of an injury accident to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation for damages related to your train accident. However, there is an important caveat to this when a government agency may be liable.

Under the state’s sovereign immunity laws, we only have a short time following an accident to file a notice of claim if we intend to pursue compensation based on the injuries you suffered. For this reason, we tell victims to reach out to a train accident attorney in Miami as soon as possible following the accident.
