Railroad Accidents



The laws surrounding railroad accidents are more complex than the laws surrounding typical automobile accidents. Actionable railroad accidents include railroad crossing accidents, train/car collisions, and derailments. Railroad workers who are injured on the job are protected by the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) but, in order to recover damages, the worker must prove negligence on the railroad's part.
