Railroad Accidents

The Champaign railroad accident lawyers at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. know how devastating a train accident can be.  Railroad accidents can involve train passengers, pedestrians, or motor vehicles and usually cause serious injuries or death.  In most cases, the responsibility for the accident rests with the operator of the vehicle, train, or the pedestrian. If the crossings are substandard or other circumstances come into play, it may be possible for additional parties to be held liable for the accident.

As a passenger on a train, your rights to compensation for injuries after a railroad accident are at least partially secured by common carrier rules and regulations.  A Champaign railroad accident lawyer will thoroughly review your case and determine the possibility of legal action. A common carrier must adhere to stricter safety standards to protect passengers and cargo.  

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
