It is well understood that when a train collides with a car
or truck the results can be devastating and deadly. The train’s weight and size will destroy most
vehicles, and nowhere was this more evident than in the Chatsworth train wreck in September of 2008. As was the case in the Metrolink crash, the individuals in such vehicles almost always
suffer catastrophic injuries or even death.
In many railroad accidents such as
these, the accident could have been prevented by the railroad company. In such cases you need experienced train wreck
attorneys on your side to protect your rights and seek restitution.
A train wreck lawyer experienced in cases involving train accidents will investigate the accident, determine the cause and file a claim against the Railroad Company and/or responsible party. Most importantly they will act as your advocate in seeking the compensation you deserve. To set up a consultation call our Law Firm at 1-800-862-1260. We’ll begin the process of helping you move forward with your case by asking the tough questions of those involved and/or responsible including:
Did a parked trainconfuse the vehicle driver? Trains are not supposed to be parked close to crossings. A parked train can prevent a driver from seeing another train that was moving toward the intersection.
Did foliage or landscape prevent the driver from seeing a train? The railroad company is responsible for keeping sight lines cleat at railroad crossings.
Did the crossing have lights, an alarm, or a functioning crossing gate? The railroad is responsible for assuring that warning systems are in working order?
Were the flashers confusing? Were the flashers on, and if so were they visible?
These questions and many more are the types of questions that need to be answered, and are exactly the questions that will be asked by an experienced attorney leading a proper investigation.
