Railroad accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the immense force and weight of trains, leaving little protection for individuals involved. At Krystal Garza & Associates, our railroad accident attorneys understand the severe physical, emotional, and financial toll these incidents cause. Whether the accident was caused by equipment failure, operator negligence, unsafe crossings, or distracted personnel, these accidents are almost always preventable. From the moment you contact our firm, we take immediate steps to secure evidence, protect your rights, and build a strong case aimed at recovering the maximum compensation allowed under Texas law.
Railroad accidents can occur in a variety of environments—including train crossings, work zones, rail yards, and tracks near industrial areas. Our railroad accident attorneys conduct a thorough evaluation of every contributing factor to determine exactly how negligence caused the accident.
Many railroad accidents happen because of preventable human error or unsafe conditions. Common causes include train operator negligence or distraction, failure to follow safety protocols, defective train equipment or faulty brakes, unsafe railroad crossings, poorly maintained tracks or signaling systems, and lack of proper warning signs or signals. Our team investigates by analyzing train records, maintenance logs, surveillance footage, employee statements, and accident reports to determine exactly what went wrong.
Liability in railroad accidents can involve multiple parties. Rail companies, train operators, contractors, and government entities responsible for track maintenance may all share responsibility. Identifying every negligent party is essential for securing full compensation for your injuries.
Our investigative approach is meticulous and comprehensive. We review train logs, maintenance records, and accident reports. We analyze track conditions and inspect equipment. We measure distances, impact patterns, and skid marks. We interview witnesses and involved personnel. We work with accident reconstruction specialists to recreate the events. If track defects, equipment failure, or operator negligence contributed to the accident, we pursue claims against all responsible parties. This thorough approach allows our railroad accident attorneys to build a compelling, evidence-backed case to support your claim.
Due to the immense force involved, railroad accidents often cause life-changing injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, fractures, crushed limbs, and amputations, internal injuries and organ damage, burns or lacerations, and emotional trauma such as PTSD and anxiety. We collaborate with medical specialists, rehabilitation experts, and financial analysts to calculate the total value of your damages. This includes medical care, surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, lost income, diminished earning capacity, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Insurance companies may attempt to minimize your claim, but our railroad accident attorneys aggressively fight for the compensation you deserve.
