Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers for Train Accidents
Although the railroad had the duty to maintain the right of way, they allowed a grove of trees to grow up around the tracks. Eventually the trees were so tall that drivers at the railroad crossing could not see whether or not the train was coming. The company did nothing until a car was struck and the driver killed.
The attorneys at Friedman, Domiano & Smith are experienced advocates who take action when a train accident causes personal injury or wrongful death. We handle cases involving a broad spectrum of train accidents, including train derailment and railroad crossing accidents like the one described above.
There are many different reasons that train accidents occur. Regardless of the reasons behind your accident, the lawyers at Friedman, Domiano & Smith can help:
- Crossings not protected by gates and lights
- Improper grades (making the grade too steep for the vehicle)
- Speeding
- Vegetation not maintained properly
- Failure to sound the whistle when approaching a crossing
- Improper lookout by the train crew
