Cases Our Sun Valley Train Accident Attorneys Handle 

Many Sun Valley residents rely on train service either for general transportation or as part of their commute. Via the Metrolink Sun Valley Train Station, you can easily access the Antelope Valley train, which takes passengers north through San Fernando Valley or southeast, through Burbank, and on to downtown Los Angeles. Amtrak service is also available and easy to use for longer trips, while Union Pacific freight trains routinely pass through the area as well.  

With all this activity, train accidents pose significant risks. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we provide the caring support and professional legal guidance victims and their families need in filing a claim. Cases our Sun Valley train accident attorneys handle include:  

• Train derailments, which can happen due to operational errors or train track defects; 
• Train collisions, which are often due to scheduling errors or mechanical problems; 
• Train crossing accidents, which can cause fatal injuries for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, or anyone near train tracks; 
• Train passenger accidents, such as getting struck by objects during your trip or slips and falls that occur while boarding or at the station.   

Who Is Responsible When A Train Accident In Sun Valley Happens?  

In Sun Valley, train accidents routinely make headlines. In 2023, CBS News reported that a driver was killed in a Sun Valley train crossing accident near Coldwater Canyon Avenue. The previous year, the news reported on an Amtrak train accident that claimed the life of a local man, as well as a Union Pacific freight train accident that left another suffering near-fatal injuries. Both happened on tracks near San Fernando Road. While they are generally not reported, passenger accidents also occur with alarming regularly. They can cause personal injuries that impact victims and their families for years into the future.
