Railroad injury and FELA claims are complex. Success requires experienced legal counsel. Our experienced lawyers can explain your options and help you claim the compensation you deserve.

Railroad companies have a responsibility to inspect and maintain all crossings and right-of-ways for safety. Even so, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) reported that there were 2,225 train accidents and 1,842 incidents at public railroad crossings in 2006. Railroad crossings and track-related incidents are some of the principal causes of non-employee railroad injury and death.

Responsibility & Compensation

Because there are many factors that lead to a railroad accident, there are many people who can be held responsible for your injury, loss of income, or pain and suffering. Train companies are often reluctant to admit to liability in railroad accidents. Train accident victims need qualified attorneys to make sure that the train company bears responsibility for a catastrophic train accident and that the victims are fairly compensated.
