Railroad accidents can have catastrophic consequences, including injury and death to hundreds of people. Dangerous railroad crossings can result from defective crossing lights and guards. Train crews may fail to sound their horn to warn traffic that the train is approaching, and trains may be derailed when they illegally speed to meet deadlines. Head-on collisions are often the result of drug use or fatigue.

The events that take place immediately after a train wreck can determine your potential for recovering damages and receiving deserved compensation. If you or a loved one is injured in a train crash, a skilled railroad accident attorney will be a critical asset in helping recover damages. Located in Dallas, Texas, the  Law Offices of Gregory H. Bevel are staffed with experienced, aggressive train accident attorneys.  We understand the complexities of train wrecks, including both legal and insurance matters. 

If you have been involved in a train wreck, call the Law Offices of Gregory H. Bevel at 214.250.2525 to arrange a consultation with an experienced attorney.  We can work to preserve both the evidence and your rights under Texas and federal laws.  If you have been injured at a railroad crossing, you need an experienced train wreck attorney to evaluating the dangers of the crossing: 

  • The railroad company may have failed to properly maintain the crossing. 

  • The intersection of the road and track may be too sharp.

  • The approach to the track may be obstructed due to the grade of a hill.

  • Warning signs may be inappropriately placed or missing.

  • The railroad, city or county may have disregarded an order to make the crossing safer.

Railroad companies immediately flood the scene of train wrecks with investigators after an accident to protect their interests. This investigation often takes place prior to the arrival of law enforcement agents.  In order to protect your rights, you should have your own team of experts investigate the train crash and also examine the train's critical "black box" data to help reconstruct the accident.
