In 2009 a CSX freight train derailed in New Orleans, Louisiana (LA). Although nobody suffered injuries or lost their lives in this particular CSX freight train derailment luck clearly played a part in a serious accident.
But in May of this year workers on a CSX train were not so fortunate. Two CSX train crew workers were killed and two other railroad workers were injured by the impact when two freight trains crashed into one another in Union County, North Carolina (NC). These trains were traveling through Mineral Springs when one train hit the other from behind, WSPA.com reported.
The crash bore similarities to the DrWitt accident, but proved to be more serious.
Where workers on the railways become victims our law firm is here to step in. Recently we secured an $8.6 million jury verdict in the case of a railroad worker brakeman/switchman who died of lung cancer after five year fight, after being exposed to asbestos, diesel fumes, and radiation during his 40 year career as a brakeman/switchman with L & N/CSX, mainly in and around Knoxville, Tennessee (TN).
