Minnesota Railroad Accident Attorneys / Lawyers

Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help after a railroad crossing accident

There are over 650 railroads and 233,000 miles of track in the United States. In 2008, there were over 12,500 accidents involving trains, and 800 people were killed, according to information from the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis.

Passengers riding on trains, subways and trolleys are entitled to a very high duty of care from the operator of the train line. If you are injured because of the negligence of the conductor or the engineer, then the train company is liable for your injuries. Unfortunately, many train companies do not readily accept responsibility for their negligence.

Train accidents can involve locomotives, commuter rail, subway, or local light rail systems. They can happen at crossings where the safety equipment fails or at unprotected crossings where there are no lights or signals to indicate an oncoming train to passenger vehicles. Trains can derail due to improper track maintenance or mechanical failure. Driver fatigue can contribute to train and railway accidents. Excessive speed is often a cause of train accidents. Train accidents can also lead to hazardous cargo spills, which can injure or kill nearby residents.

If a railroad company fails to do everything within their power to prevent an accident, it can be found liable. You have the right to pursue compensation for injury or loss of life in a railroad crossing accident. Railroad law can be complex, so it is important that you contact an experiencd railroad accident attorney from the Minnesota law offices of Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey.
