If you’ve been injured, it’s crucial to speak with a skilled railroad crossing collision and train accident lawyer who understands the unique challenges of train accidents and railroad litigation.
With nearly 3,000 miles of train tracks throughout the state, railroad and train accidents are unfortunately all too common in Florida, ranking us among the highest in the nation for railroad accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
From Amtrak to Brightline, Tri-Rail, and Florida East Coast Railway, multiple railroad operators manage our busy railways. When a train collision, derailment, or railroad crossing incident occurs, victims often suffer serious injuries, and holding the correct railroad company responsible takes an experienced attorney with a deep knowledge of railroad accident cases and federal transportation law.
At BillBone Law Group, our team of experienced train accident attorneys has decades of success representing train accident victims across West Palm Beach, the Treasure Coast, and South Florida.
We help clients pursue their train accident claim, determine liability, and fight for the fair compensation they deserve.
Board-Certified Excellence: Our lead train accident attorney, Bill Bone, is certified in Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar.
Trial-Ready Advocates: We take cases to court when needed—no lowball settlements here.
24/7 Help & Free Consultation: Bilingual staff, no upfront fees, and always available for a free consultation.
Client-First Values: Integrity. Compassion. Results.
If you’ve been involved in a train accident or railroad crossing collision, taking the right steps can protect your health and your legal rights:
Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even minor symptoms can mask serious injuries. Prompt care protects your health and documents your medical records for a future train accident claim.
Report the Accident: Call 911 to ensure an official report is filed. This is critical in train accident cases involving injury or property damage.
Document Everything: Take photos of the scene, train tracks, crossing signals, and your physical injuries. Collect witness info and save all medical bills and receipts.
Don’t Talk to Insurers Alone: Insurance companies and railroad company reps may offer quick settlements. Consult a train accident attorney before accepting or signing anything.
Call an Experienced Train Accident Lawyer: Let a qualified railroad accident attorney help you determine liability, file your personal injury claim, and pursue fair compensation.
We combine decades of trial-tested experience with personalized service and a results-driven approach tailored to each case.
Clients trust us to be accessible, strategic, and relentless in our approach. We respond promptly to your concerns, keep you informed throughout your case, and stay ahead of evolving laws and regulations that impact train accident cases.
Strong communication is the foundation of every successful attorney-client relationship.
In a time of uncertainty, knowing you have a legal team that listens and keeps you informed makes all the difference. We use a collaborative team approach, where your voice matters and your input helps shape the strategy.
Our attorneys work side by side with you to assess the strengths of your train accident claim, understand the facts, apply the law, and develop a focused legal plan.
Together with our experienced legal support staff, we deliver truly exceptional representation for every train accident victim who places their trust in us.
Over the years, we’ve handled numerous railroad accident cases and understand what typically leads to tragedy. These include:
Our legal team works closely with the Federal Railroad Administration and expert investigators to gather medical records, accident reports, and technical data to build your case.
Contact us for a free case review. We will guide you every step of the way.
We assist clients in a wide range of train accident cases, including:
Train derailments
Vehicle-train collisions
Train injuries from onboard incidents
Accidents at unprotected crossings
Worker injuries covered by the Federal Employers’ Liability Act
No matter the scenario, our team provides experienced representation for those seeking justice, whether they’re victims seeking justice as passengers, pedestrians, or railroad workers.
Train accident cases differ significantly from standard car crash claims. They often involve multiple parties, such as the railroad company, train personnel, equipment manufacturers, or even government entities.
These claims may also be influenced by laws like the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA), particularly when railroad workers or injured railroad workers are involved.
Train accidents happen for many reasons, including human error, equipment failure, or outdated safety protocols. Whether the issue stems from malfunctioning gates at a railroad crossing, a fatigued conductor, or overgrown vegetation obstructing visibility, the legal responsibility must be clearly assigned to file a successful personal injury claim.
We represent everyone from railroad workers injured in train derailments to passengers and bystanders who’ve suffered physical injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and other severe injuries.
As accident attorneys who have represented countless victims of train injuries, we understand the toll it takes—physically, emotionally, and financially. You may be dealing with mounting medical bills, lost income, and lingering physical pain.
Our job is to help you focus on healing while we take care of the rest.
You likely have urgent questions:
Who covers your medical expenses?
Can a train accident attorney help with your train accident injuries?
What are your rights if you’re a railroad worker hurt on the job?
How do you protect yourself from predatory insurance practices?
Whether you’re facing pain and suffering, lost wages, or other serious injuries, our railroad accident attorneys are here to guide you through every step of your personal injury claim.
After train accidents, the at-fault railroad company or its insurer may offer a quick settlement. But it may fall short of covering your full medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing treatment needs.
We use verdict and settlement data from previous train accident cases to ensure any offer aligns with the true value of your injuries, including physical injuries, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.
Don’t accept less than you deserve. Call now for a free case review.
If you own an insured vehicle in Florida, PIP coverage typically applies, even in train accidents. If not, other insurance may be triggered, especially when a motor vehicle was involved.
Out-of-state victims or uninsured individuals still have legal options. An experienced train accident attorney can help you understand who is liable for your medical bills, coordinate with healthcare providers, and seek medical attention immediately if needed.
Filing a train accident claim under Florida’s no-fault law requires immediate action. You must seek medical attention immediately—from an approved provider—within 14 days to preserve your right to benefits.
Even with $10,000 in coverage, medical expenses from common train accident injuries can exceed that quickly. From emergency surgery to therapy for traumatic brain injuries, costs add up. We also help victims pursue compensation for uncovered medical bills, property loss, and lost wages.
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensatory damages such as:
Economic Damages
Medical expenses
Lost wages and future earnings
Travel costs for treatment
Non-Economic Damages
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
We ensure every category of your damages—both seen and unseen—is factored into your personal injury claim.
We work on a contingency fee basis: no fees or costs unless we win. Our free consultations are available 24/7, including evenings and weekends, ensuring you can reach us anytime.
Yes. Florida follows modified comparative negligence. If you are 50% or less at fault, you may still recover partial damages. This matters in train accident cases where railroad operators may try to shift blame.
We build strong arguments with facts, medical records, and expert testimony to ensure blame is placed appropriately and fairly.
Not Sure If You Have A Claim? If In Doubt, Contact Us
There are so many West Palm Beach train accident lawyers that it’s nearly impossible for the average person to identify and choose one truly among the area’s top practitioners. It’s true—in fact, there are far too many … but it’s equally valid that there aren’t enough really good ones. So how do you identify and choose one of the really good ones?
Don’t let delays, denials, or pressure from a railroad company compromise your future. If you or a loved one is a train accident victim, we urge you to contact us today.
You’ll never pay a fee unless we win. Call for your free consultation now and let our railroad crossing collision and train accident lawyer team fight for your recovery.

Bill Bone has the best possible haircut for a guy named "Bill Bone." When he won my case, he ripped off his shirt and shouted "YOU JUST GOT BONED" to the entire court room. Five stars for winning my case, five stars for the catch phrase, two stars for taking off his shirt in court and ten stars for the haircut

Upon becoming the victim of a hit and run, while road bicycling locally, I was compelled to meet Bill Bone. Feeling “all alone and vulnerable,” Mr. Bone, and his top-shelf team, relieved surmounting pressures from my severe, life changing injury by working closely with everyone involved in my case. Frankly, without the driven passion Bill has to help people, as well as his devoted team, things would not be as comfortable for me and my family today. Thank you for your friendship and thanks for your enduring, caring expertise! -MIchael Gratzer
