Railroad crossing injury attorney

Each year, 1000’s of railroad crossing accidents occur. Many of these result in catastrophic injury or death. According to certain estimates, nearly a third of such accidents occur to young children under 16 years of age. But when an accident such as this occurs, railway companies often are quick to lay blame on inattentive victims or vehicle drivers who were trying to "beat the train". Railway companies however must be held accountable for the provision of adequate warning systems and safety measures at each and every railway crossings. If a railroad company has been negligent in providing adequate systems, you may be able to file a claim for personal injury and damages.

Some railroad negligence factors may include:

• Inadequate training of employees
• Fatigued employees
• Defective or outdated train equipment
• Poor crossing maintenance
• Blocked train engineer vision
• Failure to use horn
• Light or gate failure
• Lack of lights or gates
• Safety violations
