Railroad Accident Claims: Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Train-Accident Claims Do Bailey and Galyen Accept?
We handle all forms of train, railroad crossing, and railroad track damage cases, including:
Train incidents, including collisions between trains and cars or commercial trucks, collisions between two trains, and derailments, can result in personal injury claims.
Hazardous railroad crossings, whether owing to poor maintenance or construction, restricted views or broken or defective warning signs or signals, cause accidents.

Accidents involving trains or railroads might result in wrongful death claims.
What Should I Do Immediately Following a Train Accident?
Your health and safety should always be your primary priority following an accident. If you can safely remain in your current location until emergency medical help arrives, do so. Any needless movement could aggravate your ailments. Seek treatment right away, whether it's at a hospital, an urgent care center, or your doctor. The longer you wait to seek care, the more likely your injuries will become more severe and your legal rights may be jeopardized. Anything out of the norm should be reported to your doctor or nurse, and you should request that they document everything in writing.
Hire an expert personal injury lawyer after you've received the medical attention you require. Your lawyer will act quickly to obtain, examine, and preserve essential evidence in your case, ensuring that it is not lost or tampered with. Your lawyer will also try to obtain witness testimony as quickly as possible, before memories fade or witnesses vanish, move, or die.
If possible, acquire contact information from everyone else who was hurt in the accident, as well as any potential witnesses, at the scene of the accident.
Take photos of everything, including your injuries, any property damage, the train tracks and roadway conditions, and even the weather. It's fine to use your phone's camera.
