Railroad Accidents

Railroad Accidents Attorney

We believe it is important that any law firm representing seriously injured people in railroad accident cases have an experienced, in-house investigator in the office. That is why we have an experienced, in-house investigator on staff and available to investigate all our cases.

Railroad Accidents

When a car or pedestrian is hit by a train, the consequences are more often fatal than not. Litigation involving railroad crossing accidents can be complex and require significant resources to prosecute to a conclusion.

At the Williams Law Firm, we have the experience, resources and commitment necessary to handle railroad accidents cases.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there were nearly 11,000 railroad crossing accidents nationwide. The number of fatalities resulting from these accidents is tragic.

If you or your loved one has been injured in a railroad accident, do not wait. Contact us to discuss your case.

Our railroad crossing accident attorneys can assist you with any of the following related matters:

  • Railroad crossing accidents
  • Automobile accidents
  • Improper markings
  • Driver fatigue
  • Failure to maintain crossings
  • Speeding
  • Federal regulations
  • Visibility issues
  • Failure to warn
  • Train crash
  • Derailment

Our lawyers do not work to simply settle railroad accidents cases. We work hard to prepare your case so that you can recover the maximum compensation possible for your injuries and damages.

Many railroad accidents occur where there are improper markings, no markings at all, or when a locomotive exceeds responsible speed limits and fails to warn motorists of the approaching train. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate to determine the cause of your railroad accident. Whether the accident was caused by a lack of warning alone, or in combination with improper operation of the train, we will diligently investigate to uncover the answers you need. At the Williams Law Firm, our experienced investigator will immediately begin collecting relevant evidence for your case. From the collection of photographs at the scene of the accident, to contacting key witnesses, our investigator will ensure that you have the evidence necessary for your trial.

    Steve Williams is an excellent mediator. In fact, he is the best I have ever used. Steve understands complex legal issues and how to dissect them in a manner that is effective in persuading both parties of all the benefits of reaching a settlement. Steve works tirelessly in every case he mediates in reaching a settlement. He has had great rapport with all my clients, which enhances greatly the chances of reaching a settlement. I would conclude by stating if you don't have Steve mediating your case then you most likely left money on the table which your client could have benefited from. - Terry M.

    Steve Williams has been a first-rate trial lawyer for many years. In the several cases on which we worked together (always on opposite sides), he was prepared, hardworking, principled, and effective. Now that Steve is working primarily as a mediator, I have been happy to use him twice and certainly will be glad to use him again. Steve connects with all kinds of people, takes a genuine interest in cases and works hard to get matters resolved. Steve also brings to the negotiating table genuine warmth and empathy for each side. That, coupled with his excellent skills as a lawyer, makes him particularly good at getting cases settled. - Dan T.

    Steve Williams represented me exceedingly well in my personal injury claim against a large and distant insurance company . His quick action preserved evidence that was imperative to my claim and otherwise would have been lost or overlooked . His negotiation with the company and its representative was business-like and firm while at the same time keeping "the door open " to reach a satisfactory settlement . I am grateful for the professional manner in which Steve Williams represented me and my claim . He has my highest recommendation regarding his professional ability and strength of character. - J. Newton

    After contacting Mr. Williams about handling my case, he was very diligent about gathering all the facts and information surrounding the accident. Mr. Williams was also steadfast during the negotiation process with the insurance companies involved. The administrative staff in his office was great to work with and very helpful with any and all questions I had throughout the process. Mr. Williams understood the severity of my injuries and made sure the final settlement was agreeable to me, especially to ensure I would be secure financially if any more procedures and/or surgeries would be required in the unforeseeable future. I am quite confident in saying he had my best interests at heart. - G. Toney

    Steve Williams is an excellent attorney. From my dealings with him that he is honest, responsible, and above all he works extremely hard for his clients. I don’t think any practicing attorney would have gotten the settlement he provided for me. If need be, and I needed a competent legal representation, I would not be hesitant to call Steve Williams to provide me with unequal legal guidance from Mr. Williams. - N. Corey
