Railroad Accidents

Determining liability and pursuing full recovery after a railroad incident.

Railroad accidents are among the most devastating vehicle-related incidents that occur. A train cannot swerve and cannot stop quickly, which means the consequences of a malfunctioning crossing signal, obstructed sightline, or human error are absorbed entirely by whoever is in the way.

Liability in these cases is rarely obvious. Railroad companies, crossing maintenance contractors, equipment manufacturers, and municipal authorities may each hold a piece of it, and federal railroad regulation shapes the claim in ways that ordinary vehicle law does not.

Andre Thomas works to determine where responsibility actually lies and to pursue the fullest recovery available for those injured — including railroad employees with claims under FELA.

What this covers
  • Grade crossing collisions and signal failures
  • Pedestrian and trespasser incidents
  • FELA claims for railroad employees
  • Equipment and maintenance failures
  • Catastrophic injury and wrongful death
