Why You Need An Experienced Train Accident Lawyer

IF YOU HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR A LOVED ONE HAS SUFFERED A WRONGFUL DEATH, IN A TRAIN ACCIDENT, A LAWYER AT HOEY & FARINA CAN HELP!

The average weight of an automobile is about 4,000 pounds. The average weight of a train is over 8,000 tons.

A car has the ability to swerve and avoid an accident and can stop in a matter of feet. A train can only follow the tracks it’s on and, if doing about 50 miles an hour, needs approximately a mile to stop.

These differences make for obvious dangers and why railroads, like Metra, Amtrak and CSX, are required to exercise an ordinary duty of care to prevent bad tracks, broken crossing gates, defective lights, etc. A railroad’s failure to prevent these things can result in serious train accidents.

Whether you are the driver of a vehicle struck by a train due to a failed crossing gate or a passenger in a commuter train accident, the resulting injuries can have lifelong consequences for you and your family. You need an experienced train accident attorney to help you recover medically and financially.
