Defective Signals Causing Train Accidents
Train accidents
almost always result in devastating, catastrophic injuries. Drivers and
pedestrians rely upon warning signs and signals to avoid these accidents.
That's why The Cochran Firm's accident lawyers are so passionate about pursuing
justice for those who suffered a train accident as a result of a defective sign
or signal.
A railroad crossing should be clearly and explicitly labeled
with prominent signs, most of which include flashing lights. Most railroad
crossings also have gates on either side of the tracks that slide down when a
train is coming.
When one of these elements is missing, either as a result of
a mechanical failure with the gates or lights or as a result of improper
design, innocent drivers can cross the tracks with no warning of an oncoming
train.
The resulting collision is often fatal.
The Cochran Firm's accident lawyers have decades of
experience handling train accidents with these causes. We've helped people hurt
by train collisions, and we've pursued wrongful death
claims on behalf of the families of those killed by these accidents.
If you or a family member has been hurt in a train accident,
you should speak to our accident lawyers immediately. Please contact The Cochran
Firm today for a free consultation.
