Railroad Accident Lawyers

The U.S. plays host to thousands of railway accidents each year.

In 2009, there were 1,896 incidents at public highway-rail crossings in the U.S. that resulted in 247 deaths and 705 injuries, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

In some cases, reckless drivers disregard warning signs and attempt to outrun an oncoming train and in others, people trespass along a railroad right-of-way and become victims. But there are cases in which railroad crossings were improperly marked or vegetation obscured an otherwise effective warning signal. Some railroad crossings are poorly lit or even completely unlit, and in some cases, human error is to blame for tragedy on the rails.

Whatever their causes, railway wrecks carry devastating results for their victims, their families, loved ones and the community at large.
