There's a lot of rail traffic across our client service area in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, and not all of the railroad crossings are well controlled or maintained. The primary legal challenge in a grade crossing accident is to prove negligence on the part of the railroad or any other party responsible for maintaining the crossing in a safe condition.
In most cases, the defense will try to show that the driver's negligence was the main cause of the crash. Because we're experienced with the proof of disputed facts relating to liability in serious injury cases, our lawyers know how to investigate and present the facts that will be essential to your financial recovery.
Another important focus of our personal injury practice is to help the victims and their families get through the ordeal of a severe or fatal accident. While we're working to prove your right to compensation, we'll also be available to help you with all of the other problems that most people experience in the weeks and months following an accident.
These problems often include:
- Questions as to whose insurance will cover emergency and continuing medical treatment
- Problems with lost income
- Insurance coverage for medical second opinions or additional diagnostic tests
- Logistical arrangements for child care, errands and medical appointments
- Eligibility for disability benefits
- Emotional or psychological stress from PTSD to survivor's guilt
Not all of the problems and challenges you and your family will face in the weeks and months after a serious accident will relate directly to your lawsuit, but our lawyers are committed to helping you through them as well as we can.
