Railroad Crossing Accidents
Injured in a Train Accident? Our Experience Gets Results.
How common is a collision between a train and a car? According to the Federal Railway Administration, there are nearly 3,000 railroad crossing accidents every year, including about 300 fatal train accidents.
These accidents tend to occur in clusters centered on communities like Atlanta that have a high number of highway-railroad grade crossings. Despite improved safety measures on railroads, defective equipment, driver fatigue and drunk or distracted drivers are often to blame.

If you were injured, or lost a family member in a car-train accident, you may have a number of possible legal claims. Contact the attorneys of Gary Martin Hays & Associates to discuss the circumstances of your case. The initial consultation is free of charge and free of obligation.
Representing Those Hit by Trains
You may be able to recover financial compensation if you were the driver or a passenger in a car that was hit by a train. We will investigate to determine if the engineer was under the influence of alcohol or drugs or using a cell phone at the time of the accident. If you were a passenger in a car being driven by a drunk driver at the time of the accident, we may pursue a claim against the driver.
Representing Injured Train Passengers
In addition to representing those injured in car accidents at railroad crossings, we are prepared to represent those injured as passengers on trains. A sudden stop, a trip and fall when getting on or off the train, or any other type of injury suffered as a result of the railroad's negligence may entitle you to compensation for damages.
Our attorneys will work to identify all possible sources of compensation and coordinate coverage to provide maximum benefits. To learn more, contact our law office for a free consultation. From offices in Atlanta and Athens, we represent clients throughout the state.
