Railroad Accident Attorneys

Railroad crossing accidents are unforgettable images. A 125-250 ton train crashing into a motor vehicle may cause catastrophic damage and severe injuries or death to the passengers of the vehicle. Victims of train accidents need to seek out the legal advice of an experienced railroad accident lawyer to determine if their case warrants legal action against a railroad company.

After a railroad crossing accident has occurred, railroad companies may complicate the case by placing the blame for the accident on inattentive drivers. Our railroad crossing lawyers at DiSandro & Malloy, P.C. will investigate the circumstances of your accident to check whether or not the railroad company was negligent in their duties to maintain any of the railroad crossing signals, signs, flashing lights, or gates that may have prevented your accident from occurring. If negligence can be shown, you may have a claim against the railroad company.

In 2009, the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis reported 5,438 total railroad incidents/accidents. Of those accidents, there were 313 fatalities and 3,824 non-fatalities.
