Improper Railroad Design

Railroad Design Matters

Much like streets and highways, the design of a railroad track and its crossings can have a tremendous impact on the lives of railroad workers and passengers as well as the drivers and passengers of other motor vehicles.

Injured? You Are Not Alone

Railroad accidents happen far too often in the United States, changing the lives of injury survivors and their families. At railroad crossings alone, accidents occur once every two hours according to the Federal Railroad Administration.

At Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington, we are the premier firm for railroad accident representation in Louisville and throughout Kentucky. From the moment you hire us until after you have received the compensation you are entitled to, you will have a trusted advocate on your side.

Focused On Your Needs

As we navigate the complex legal process associated with your claim, we will keep the focus where it belongs: on you and your family. Our team of lawyers will not be satisfied until compensation has been recovered from all possible sources to ensure you have what you need to cover medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.

A Good Design Does Not Ensure Long-Term Safety

If a railroad and the surrounding property are not properly maintained over the years, a well-designed railroad can still become dangerous. We will investigate all factors that contributed to your injury and pursue compensation from all available sources. This includes railroad companies that have failed to adequately maintain tracks, erect and maintain proper signage, and keep vegetation or obstructions away from the tracks.

You Can Recover. We Can Help.

The first step in getting the benefits and compensation you deserve is speaking to an attorney about your legal options. Contact us today for a FREE initial consultation. We answer our phones 24/7.
