Train Accidents in Michigan

New Haven, MI – Fatal Train-Pedestrian Collision At Macomb Main StTrain-related incidents, though less frequent than vehicle collisions, often result in serious or fatal outcomes. In Michigan, there were dozens of train-pedestrian and train-vehicle incidents reported in 2023. These accidents often occur near crossings or rail lines that intersect with public roadways. According to the Michigan State Police, awareness, signal compliance, and pedestrian caution are essential near railroad tracks.

When fatal accidents like this happen, it’s important for families to understand their rights. Here are several key aspects of wrongful death cases to consider:

  • Eligibility to File: Immediate family members, such as spouses, parents, or children of the deceased, may file a wrongful death claim. The personal representative of the estate is often the one who brings the case forward in court.
  • Compensation for Losses: A wrongful death claim may include compensation for medical bills incurred before death, funeral costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. These financial awards are meant to support families during an incredibly difficult time.
  • Establishing Liability: To succeed in a wrongful death case, it's necessary to prove that the accident occurred due to negligence—whether on the part of the train operator, railway company, or others involved.
  • Investigation and Evidence: Early legal action allows attorneys to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and work with accident reconstruction experts. This is especially important in train-related cases, which often involve large companies and detailed procedures.
  • Statute of Limitations: In Michigan, families typically have three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. Missing this deadline can result in the loss of the right to seek justice.
