RAILROAD ACCIDENTS

Jamie M. Trapp & Associates have represented employees of railroads and third parties who have been injured due to the negligence of railroads and public transportation systems due to unsafe procedures that occurred that resulted in serious injury or death. Most railroad accidents, due to the nature of the machinery involved, can be catastrophic and often result in horrific injuries or death. Whether a crossing gate fails, a train proceeds through a restricted speed area, or derailment occurs, there can be liability against the railroad for its negligence in causing personal injury. Railroad employees are also entitled to the benefit of federal laws requiring railroads to provide a safe place to work.
