Railroad Accidents

The Moline railroad accident attorneys at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. understand that a train accident can be traumatic. In most cases, railroad accidents involve pedestrians, motor vehicles, or train passengers. The liability for the accident generally rests with either the operator of the vehicle, train, or the pedestrian. It may be possible for additional parties to be held responsible for the Moline railroad accident, particularly if the crossings are substandard, there are no crossbars, or a vehicle was unable to see an oncoming train because another train was obstructing the view.

If you sustained injuries as a passenger on a train, you may have a right to compensation partially because of common carrier rules and regulations. A common carrier is held to a high safety standard and the operators of a common carrier receive extra training to maintain that standard. A Moline railroad accident lawyer will review your case and help you recover compensation.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
