Train Accident Attorney in Birmingham - Train

Birmingham Train Accident Attorney

Traveling or moving goods by train remains an integral part of our nation’s transportation system, with nearly 160,000 miles of track throughout the country, making ours the largest rail network in the world. More than 3,500 miles of those tracks run through Alabama, and there are nearly 6,000 railroad crossings throughout the state, creating a dangerous situation, particularly for drivers and pedestrians.

Most railroad injuries and fatalities occur at railroad crossings and involve vehicle and train collisions or occur when pedestrians find themselves walking near or on railroad property. However, many injury risks are associated with train accidents, ranging from minor to severe, and can even involve passengers.

If you were injured or lost a loved one in a train accident, a Birmingham train accident lawyer from Morgan & Morgan will not only help you determine who may be liable for your injuries but fight to see that you are compensated.
