Personal Injury Attorneys Representing Train Accident Victims
Whether train accidents are caused by a train that derails, a collision between two trains or a train and an object on the tracks, one thing is true: they lead to serious personal injury that can transform the lives of injury victims.
Serious personal injuries caused by train accidents require the assistance of experienced attorneys — savvy litigators who know how to bring effective cases against insurance companies. At the Ellis Law Corporation, we are those attorneys. We have more than 10 years of experience on which to rely when representing people in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and throughout California in train accident cases.
A Unique Legal Strategy for Each Case
As experienced trial lawyers, we know that each case is unique. Even though the laws are the same, the way the laws are applied depends on many different factors. We conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and laws involved in each case to determine the true causes of the injuries. Train accidents have many different causes.
- Operator negligence: Operating several thousand tons of moving train cars requires the utmost concentration and diligence. Yet all too often, operator negligence is found to be the root of a train accident. Although much is made of the operator's responsibility for the safety of passengers and the general public, a large team of professionals are also involved in keeping a train running safely. At the Ellis Law Corporation, we have considerable experience in sorting out the conflicting arguments made by a transit company to clear the way for our clients to receive compensation.
- Equipment failure: Trains are complicated machines with thousands of moving parts, including hydraulics and electrical systems. All of these components must function properly if the train is to function safely. Should any one of these parts fail due to improper maintenance or poor manufacture, the lives of dozens — if not hundreds of people — may be put in jeopardy. Our lawyers have experience with the legal complexities of defective product litigation and train accident cases involving defective parts or poor maintenance.
