Once every two hours, a train strikes a vehicle or pedestrian at a railroad crossing somewhere in the United States. With thousands of pounds of freight and a high rate of speed, these types of accidents inevitably result in catastrophic injuries or death.

Our attorneys have deep experience navigating the complex laws that govern railroad accidents and taking on railroad companies that have a history of vigorously defending themselves.
