Assigning Liability in a Car-Train Crash
Attorney W. Mullins McLeod Jr. leads our train accident cases. Our legal team aggressively investigates to uncover the negligence that caused or contributed to a personal injury or wrongful death:
- Failure to trim obscuring vegetation
- Poor sight distance due to RR crossing design
- Exceeding the speed limit
- Failure to blow horns at mandated distances
- Malfunction of crossing arm/warning lights/warning bells
- Failure to install crossing guards at dangerous intersections, especially after previous train crashes at a passive crossing
Train accidents are commonly fatal, leaving an emotional void and financial hardship for families. Those who survive often suffer catastrophic and permanent harm such as brain or spinal injury or disfiguring burns. We are dedicated to securing full compensation for the losses.
