Train Accidents

train ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Serious Injuries. Complex Cases. We’re Built for Both.

Crashes involving trains are rare — but when they happen, they’re catastrophic. Whether you were hit at a railroad crossing, injured as a pedestrian, or hurt while working on or near train tracks, these cases require serious legal skill and quick action.


We’ve spent decades handling high-stakes injury claims in Georgia. We understand the unique laws around railroads and public transportation, and we know how to pursue full compensation when someone gets hurt because of negligence.

Government agencies responsible for crossing safety

Train accident cases often involve multiple layers of responsibility, and we have the experience to dig deep and find out who failed — and how.

What Compensation Can Cover

  • Hospital bills, surgery & rehabilitation
  • Lost income or inability to return to work
  • Long-term disability or permanent injuries
  • Pain, suffering & reduced quality of life
  • Wrongful death expenses for families
  • Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have a case if I was hit at a railroad crossing?

    You might. Many railroad crossings have defective signals, blocked views, or missing gates — all of which could make the railway company or another party liable.

  • Can I sue a railroad company?

    Yes, but train companies are heavily protected and will fight hard. We’re experienced in handling these claims and know how to take on large entities like CSX, Norfolk Southern, and others.

  • What if a loved one died in a train accident?

    We handle wrongful death claims and will guide your family through the process with care. These are among the most serious cases we take, and we pursue maximum compensation.

  • What if I was working on the train or tracks?

    If you were injured while working, you may have a claim under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) instead of standard workers’ comp. We’ll help you figure out the right path.

  • Is there a deadline to file a train injury case?

    Yes. Most personal injury and wrongful death cases in Georgia have a two-year statute of limitations, but if a government agency is involved, deadlines can be shorter. The sooner we start, the better.

Why It Matters

Train accidents are devastating — and often preventable. Whether it’s a malfunctioning signal, poor track maintenance, or human error, someone should be held accountable.


These are not quick, simple claims. They require investigation, expert analysis, and a law firm that doesn’t back down. That’s where we come in.
