No railroad crossing injury attorney fees unless successful

 

Railroad crossing injury attorney

Each year, thousands of railroad crossing accidents occur. Most of these result in catastrophic injury or death.  According to some estimates, nearly a third of these occur to children under 16 years of age. When such an accident occurs, railway companies are often quick to place the blame on inattentive vehicle drivers or victims who were looking to "beat the train". But railway companies must be accountable for providing adequate warning systems and safety measures at all 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  • Defective or outdated train equipment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
