Railroad Law
Train-vehicle accidents happen frequently. For over twenty years I have represented many injured people and their families in Oklahoma as well as in many other states who have been harmed by the negligence of railroad companies and/or their employees. I'm committed to help change a centuries-old railroad attitude of conscious disregard for the safety of the motoring public. Only by fighting the railroad companies when they negligently injure or kill people will we begin to see a change in an industry which must become more safety-conscious. It is a mistake to assume that because someone is hit by a train, that they were at fault. Often, accidents occur as a result of shoddy maintenance of crossings and/or signal malfunctions, or the failure of the train crew to give proper warning. Many crossings are inadequately protected by proper signal devices. As well, at many crossings the visibility of an approaching train is obscured by vegetation, vehicles or buildings. These are just a few examples of cases where a railroad company can be potentially responsible for death or injury.It is very important that you speak with an experienced railroad attorney, because there are many technical and legal factors which make railroad law unique. In my over 20 years of experience in bringing claims against railroad companies, I have obtained extensive inside information about the way the railroad companies conduct their business, and I will continue to fight for my clients rights to obtain the critical information to get answers and justice.
