After a railroad crossing accident

Suggestions for what to do if you or your family is in a railroad grade crossing accident.

1. You are under no obligation to talk with insurance or railroad claim representatives after an accident — you should seek advice from an attorney before giving a statement to an insurance or railroad claims representative.

2. Preserve physical evidence if possible — this includes any automobile in which you may have been injured.

3. Preserve the names, telephone numbers and addresses of any eyewitnesses to your accident, if possible.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.
