Even if you were partly at fault for the accident, you may still be eligible for compensation thanks to Florida’s liability laws. Florida is a “pure comparative fault” state: if both parties shared a portion of the fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to a percentage of damages. For example, if SunRail is found to be 60% at fault, you are entitled to 60% of the damages.
Proving this requires a great deal of evidence gathering and case-building – something that Farah & Farah can help with.
SunRail is owned and maintained by the government, under the Florida Department of Transportation. Currently, it operates in four counties through Central Florida: Volusia, Seminole, Orange, and Osceola spanning 49 total miles of track across 16 different stations.
Unfortunately, through its lifetime, the SunRail has had a reputation for being dangerous. The longest period the railroad has gone without an accident has been 206 days. A recent state report found that it has the highest average annual casualty rate of all commuter rails in the U.S. 2017 was the deadliest year with 6 fatalities due to SunRail accidents.
