Train Accidents

Representing victims of train and railroad crossing collisions.

Train accidents can cause catastrophic injuries at crossings, platforms, and along railroad corridors. These cases often involve federal regulations, railroad companies, and complex investigations.

Kelso Law Group represents passengers, motorists, pedestrians, and workers injured in railroad-related incidents. At Kelso Law Group, our attorneys know how insurers and defense teams evaluate claims because we have defended large companies and carriers — and we use that insight to build stronger cases for our clients.

Common Train Accident Cases We Handle

Railroad injury claims require experience with serious harm and powerful defendants. We handle:

  • Railroad crossing collisions
  • Pedestrian strikes on or near tracks
  • Passenger injuries on trains and platforms
  • Derailment and equipment failure incidents
  • Negligent maintenance and signal failures
  • Wrongful death railroad accident claims

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you should not have to bear the financial burden alone. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the insurance coverage available.

Depending on your case, compensation may include:

  • Emergency care, surgery, therapy, and future medical treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses
  • Emotional distress and mental anguish
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

What To Do After a Train Accident

Train accidents are chaotic and high-stakes. Protect yourself with these steps:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries take time to appear.
  2. Call the police or appropriate authorities and make sure an official report is filed.
  3. Document the scene with photos, witness names, and your own notes while details are fresh.
  4. Notify your insurance company, but avoid giving a recorded statement to the at-fault party’s insurer.
  5. Contact Kelso Law Group before accepting any settlement offer. We can investigate liability and fight for full compensation.
