Michigan Train Accident Lawyers

Our Michigan train accident lawyers represent clients injured in cases involving train accidents and railroad crossing accidents. These train accident cases involve trains and locomotives that carry both passengers and cargo.

Causes of Michigan Train Accidents

Our Michigan personal injury lawyers often file lawsuits for passengers of trains who are injured due to the negligent driving of the train conductor or a defect on the train. Other cases are filed by individuals who were not on the train, but rather in other cars, on motorcycles or bicycles, or pedestrians and were injured due to the negligence of the train conductor. Cases are typically filed against the negligent train driver and the company or city that owns the train. Injuries due to Michigan train accidents happen due to some of the following:
  • Collisions with passenger vehicles
  • Train Passenger injuries
  • Unprotected crossings
  • Inadequate warnings at railroad crossings
  • Malfunctioning warnings at railroad crossings
  • Failure to whistle or notify victims of an approaching train
  • Overgrown foliage obscuring lines of sight
  • Trains traveling at excessive speed
  • Train derailments
