Injury Cases Resulting from Train Wrecks

Every day, commuter and freight trains carry people and cargo across California. While train safety continues to improve, train accidents – including fatal accidents – are still a harsh reality anywhere rail lines and roads cross.

Unlike most other personal injury cases, train wrecks involve extensive federal regulations, including preemption of state law by federal. Your attorney needs to understand issues such as compliance with federal maintenance, training, and railroad crossing regulations, horn mileage rules, and proper warning at intersections with public roadways.

Because Ball & Roberts is one of the few law firms in Southern California to have actually tried a train wreck action, we can assist clients in evaluating issues such as liability, pre-emption, safety standards, and train crew scheduling.

We help people seek compensation for their medical costs, lost wages, and other losses after train wrecks involving cars, trucks, bicyclists or pedestrians. We also handle class actions.

As trial lawyers, we understand how devastating these accidents can have on people's lives, particularly when they involve traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries or wrongful death. We fight hard to maximize compensation for victims of train wrecks.

If you have questions about compensation for losses after train wrecks, or if you believe you may have a claim, contact our Pasadena law office for a free, confidential case evaluation.
