Types of Train Accidents We Handle
Our Miami train accident attorneys handle cases involving passenger train accidents, freight train derailments, crossing accidents, platform accidents, and cases involving Brightline and other commuter rail services. Each type of accident presents unique legal challenges and liability issues.
Federal Railroad Safety Laws
Train accidents are governed by complex federal regulations including the Federal Railroad Safety Act and Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). Our Miami personal injury lawyers understand these federal laws and how they interact with state personal injury law to protect victims' rights.
Railroad Crossing Accidents
Many train accidents occur at railroad crossings when proper warnings aren't provided or safety equipment malfunctions. Railroad companies have a duty to maintain safe crossings with adequate warning signals, gates, and visibility. When they fail, serious accidents can result.
Brightline Accident Claims
Since Brightline began operations in South Florida, there have been numerous serious accidents. Our Miami train accident lawyers have specific experience with Brightline claims and understand the unique issues these cases present, including high-speed operations and inadequate safety measures.
