Des Moines Train DUI Lawyers

The operation of any vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited by law and can lead to traumatic accidents that would otherwise have been preventable. This is true even of small passenger cars, and the potential scope of damage expands dramatically as the size of the offending driver’s vehicle increases. So it is quite clear that any accident involving a cargo, passenger, or commuter train poses a significant threat to the safety and property of anyone unfortunate enough to be caught onboard or in its path at the time of a crash.

If you have sustained an injury or property loss due to a train engineer’s decision to operate the vehicle under the influence, then you may be entitled to pursue a legal action seeking financial compensation for that negligence.

The Risks of Operating Under the Influence

There is no possible justification for the decision to pilot a train when an individual has consumed alcohol, narcotics, or other controlled substances that may impair both judgment and physical capacity. The harsh reality is that even a momentary lapse of attention can cost an innocent person’s life, so it is imperative that no unnecessary risks be introduced.

Consuming the following substances before reporting to work or while on the job can be deadly:

  • Alcohol
  • Cough syrup
  • Prescription medications
  • Over-the-counter medications
  • Narcotics
