- Did the accident happen at a dangerous RR crossing? In many cases, the railroad, the city or the parish was negligent in designing or maintaining the railroad crossing. The crossing may have had just a sign when it needed a sign plus a crossing barrier. Was the crossing barrier working? Is it sufficient?
My team and I investigated a railroad crossing accident that did not have a barrier, and the train did not blow a whistle. Using a scale model and lights, we showed that when a driver looked to see if there was an oncoming train, the sun was in his eyes and he could not have seen the train's light. We proved that the railroad crossing did not provide sufficient protection.
- Was the car's driver at fault? Sadly, it may be the car driver at fault in a railroad crossing accident. The driver may have tried to beat the train and crossed the tracks in front of the train. Or the driver may not have been paying attention. If you were a passenger in the car, you or your estate and heirs would have a claim against the driver.
