Railroad Crossing Accidents

The Harvey Law Firm and attorney Feliz Rael are particularly knowledgeable about handling accident claims from railroad crossing accidents, when a car, truck or other vehicle is struck by a train. Ms. Rael has handled a variety of railroad claims, working at first for railways and now for injured people and grieving families.

Because of the weight and speed of a train, it is often not possible to respond quickly enough to avoid an accident: railroad accidents must be prevented by railroad companies and local government officials. Public safety measures, such as railroad crossing signs, flashing lights, and descending bars become increasingly important as population and traffic increase near the railway.

Train / car collisions are not common, but when they do occur, the injuries they cause are catastrophic, often fatal. When railroad crossing accidents could have been avoided with proper planning and ongoing review of changing conditions, a negligence claim can cause the railroad company to take responsible actions.
