Railroad Crossing Collision and Train Accident Lawyer

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Train accidents happen for many reasons, including human error, equipment failure, or outdated safety protocols.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.

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.

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.
