People injured in a train accident often have claims for their personal injuries. If a motor vehicle is involved, the injured person can file a No-Fault Insurance claims for medical expenses, lost wages, and other benefits. Families of people who are killed in train accidents can often file a Michigan Wrongful Death Claim. Other cases involve injuries to railroad workers, also known as FELA cases.

Lawsuits are often filed for passengers of trains who are injured due to the negligence of the train company or a defect in the tracks or rails. The train company is liable for these injuries. Other cases are filed by individuals who were not on the train, but rather were in other cars, on motorcycles or bicycles, or pedestrians and were injured due to the negligence of the train, or against another person if they were a passenger in a motor vehicle.

Lawsuits for train accident cases are most often filed against these companies:

Amtrak

CSX

Union Pacific

Norfolk Southern

CONRAIL

Burlington Northern Santa Fe

Canadian Pacific

Canadian National

Kansas City Southern

Illinois Central

It is important to hire a train accident attorney immediately after the accident to begin the investigation of the claim. The train company and operator often deny fault for the accident and it is necessary to interview witnesses and take photographs as soon as possible after the accident. If you or a loved one has been injured in a train accident, you should contact our law firm immediately.

Testimonials

For your personal injury cases, I would recommend George Burke at Buckfire & Buckfire. He was professional, knew the law and best of all, negotiated a settlement for me that was fair compensation for the injuries I received.
Kevin - Walled Lake

I cannot thank Daniel Buckfire enough for helping in my No-Fault Insurance claim against State Farm Insurance Company. I am a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident and my insurance company denied me a portion of my insurance benefits. I contacted Daniel and he was able to get those benefits paid quickly for me.
