Atlanta Train Accident Attorneys

Serving Alpharetta, Atlanta and all Georgia

Train accidents are more common than you might think. There are approximately 3,000 railroad accidents every single year, about a third of which result in death.

Passengers, pedestrians, railway workers, and occupants of nearby vehicles or buildings often sustain catastrophic injuries. In fact, it’s rare to hear of a “minor” train accident, though even in those cases, the damages can take an enormous toll.

Van Sant Law, is an experienced Alpharetta personal injury law with a comprehensive understanding of train-related injury law. A Georgia train accident lawyer in our firm will help you claim compensation from the responsible parties, which may include the train car manufacturer, railway employees, the company that runs or owns the train, or even third parties that may have created a dangerous condition on the tracks.

Our firm works with expert investigators who are specifically trained in railway accident investigations. We utilize these resources to build your case and make a compelling argument for liability.

How Do Train Accidents Happen in Georgia?

There are many kinds of railroad accidents. The most common include:

  • Train-on-car
  • Train-on-train
  • Railroad crossings in which pedestrians are hit by an oncoming train
  • Derailments
  • Other accidents in which there are injuries even without a collision

Frequent causes of these train accidents include:

  • Defects in the train tracks
  • Hazards on the train tracks
  • Defective train signals, crossing gates, or lights
  • Car drivers who fail to yield to trains / crossing gates
  • Excessive cargo weight
  • Defects in the train cars or engine
  • Employee error
  • Cargo or fixtures protruding too far outside the train
  • Violations of safety rules, regulations, or laws
  • Inadequate train or railway maintenance
  • Failure of the conductor to sound a horn when approaching train crossings
  • Pedestrian suicide

An Alpharetta, Georgia Train Accident Lawyer Can Pursue Compensation

The companies that own and operate trains and their rail lines typically carry large insurance policies to cover derailments, collisions, and other such incidents. Nevertheless, you should never talk with insurance representatives without first consulting a Georgia train accident lawyer.
