Georgia Railroad Crossing Accidents Lawyers
How common is a collision between a train and a car? According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there are about 3,000 railroad crossing accidents every year, including more than 300 fatal train accidents.* These accidents tend to occur in clusters centered on communities like Atlanta that have a high number of highway-railroad grade crossings. Despite improved safety measures on railroads, including modifications to crossing gates and warning signals, defective equipment, driver fatigue and drunk drivers are often to blame. A person injured, or who lost a family member, may have a number of claims. (You can file a claim if you are a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver or if your vehicle was hit by a train driven by an engineer under the influence of alcohol or drugs.)

In addition to representing those injured in car accidents at railroad crossings, we are prepared to represent those injured as passengers on trains. A sudden stop, a trip and fall when getting on or off the train, or any other type of injury suffered as a result of the railroad's negligence may entitle you to an injury claim. A thorough investigation may be warranted to determine exactly how to proceed. If a person does suffer an injury as the result of the engineer negligence or poor maintenance, it can be challenging to identify available sources of compensation. The cost of providing care following a closed head injury or paralysis or replacing the income of a victim of a fatal bus accident can far exceed the limits of any one insurance policy. Our attorneys will work to identify all possible sources of compensation and coordinate coverage to provide maximum benefits.
