There were 14 fatalities as the result of these collisions.

Even if they are not fatal, train accidents and derailments can drastically affect individuals’ lives. When a one-ton car is struck by an 18,000-ton train, serious injuries are often the result. Not all train accidents, however, are the result of train crossing collisions. Pedestrians walking along railroad tracks or walking across tracks can be struck and killed by trains when engineers sound train horns too late. The types of injuries typically sustained in train accidents often require extensive hospitalization, rehabilitation, and lead to lost wages and a decrease in overall earnings.
Trains also experience derailments, which carry their own types of injuries and harms. Despite recent improvements in the federal requirements for hazmat car safety, derailments often result in spilling toxic substances. Managing these toxic spills can be dangerous, time-consuming and expensive. They can cause an area to be evacuated for hours, days, or even weeks, depending on the toxicity and amount of the substance spilled. The spills can affect individuals and businesses in the immediate area, but their impact is often felt by the surrounding areas as well. People traveling by cars, motorcycles, bicycles or foot can be exposed to the toxic substances released by a train derailment. People adversely affected by these types of toxic substances may have a case for damages or restitution.
