Train Accidents

Train Accidents Attorneys in San Antonio. In a single year, there were 13,067 railroad related accidents, according to the Federal Railroad Administration's Office of Safety Analysis. These railroad accidents resulted in 851 deaths and 8,801 non-fatal injuries.

Trains are typically used by large companies to transport freights. These trains can derail or collide with other trains, causing catastrophic personal injuries, property damages, and deaths. Poorly maintained railroad crossing signals can also malfunction, causing injuries to pedestrians and automobiles. Train companies are required to act reasonably in ensuring railroads are properly maintained and that their trains are in working condition. Train conductors are also required to operate trains in a cautious and reasonable manner.

Train companies and operators, much like truck drivers, carry liability insurance that maintains responsibility for the actions of the insured. The insurance company has a team of legal experts at their disposal to protect their rights and their bottom line. The firm of Ketterman Rowland and Westlund is proud to work for the rights of those injured in a train accident.

Train accidents can be complex requiring highly trained experts familiar in the industry. If you or a family member has lost a loved one or sustained an injury in a train accident, you need an experienced personal injury lawyer. Remember, the Railroad and their insurance companies are not on your side.
