About once every two hours, a train strikes a vehicle or pedestrian at a railroad crossing somewhere in the United States. Langdon & Emison represents clients nationwide, who have suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one in an accident involving a train. The firm has successfully obtained multimillion dollar settlements on behalf of train accident victims and their families, and our attorneys are currently representing several families of fatal train accidents.
Railroad injuries and deaths may be caused by a number of factors, including:
- Excessive Speed
- Failure to Sound a Warning
- Inadequate Sight Distances for Auto Drivers at Railroad Crossings
- Inadequate or Defective Safety Devices at Railroad Crossings
Our attorneys have extensive expertise in representing victims of railroad accidents. We have broad experience in investigating railroad accidents, determining the cause, and filing and pursuing claims against railroad companies. We know how to successfully navigate the complicated lines of state and federal law that cross and intersect in this area of negligence and liability.
Railroad companies have an established history of vigorously defending claims and have vast resources with which to mount their defense. It is important to keep in mind that the railroad companies and their insurance carriers evaluate claims with plaintiff's choice of counsel in mind. With over 75 years of combined legal experience, and over half a billion dollars in recovery on behalf of our clients, Langdon & Emison has the ability and financial strength to successfully take on the largest corporations in the world, including the largest railroad corporations. We have successfully leveled the playing field against such railroad corporations as:
- Union Pacific
- Burlington Northern Santa Fe
- Iowa
- Chicago
- Eastern
