PRASA (Train Accidents)

Yes, if you have been injured in a train accident due to the negligence of the train operator (PRASA), you may be eligible to claim compensation for your injuries and related losses.

You may be able to claim various damages, including medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other related losses resulting from the train accident.

Yes, there is a prescribed time limit of three years for instituting a claim against PRASA. Generally, it is important to initiate the claim as soon as possible from the date of the train accident. However, it is recommended to consult with a legal professional as soon as possible, as delays may affect the strength of your claim.

To support your claim, you will need to gather evidence such as medical records, photographs of injuries or the accident scene, witness statements, and any other relevant documentation that can establish the liability of PRASA and the extent of your injuries.

PRASA may still be held liable for the injuries and losses resulting from a train accident caused by the negligence of another passenger. It is important to consult with an attorney to determine the appropriate course of action and liability in such cases.

If the train accident resulted in the loss of a loved one, certain family members may be entitled to claim compensation for loss of support, funeral expenses, and other related damages. Consult with a personal injury attorney who specialises in wrongful death claims to understand the specific requirements and procedures.

If the train accident occurred due to a mechanical failure or lack of maintenance by PRASA, they may be held liable for the injuries and losses suffered. It is important to gather evidence related to the maintenance records, expert opinions, and any relevant documentation to support your claim.
