Virginia Train Accident Attorneys with Over 50 Years Combined Experience

Trains have operated throughout the state of Virginia for hundreds of years now. Popular railway companies such as Amtrak and CSX traverse hundreds of miles of Virginia countryside, transporting passengers and goods throughout the state. The train is one of the oldest forms of transportation, and over the years, national and state regulations have tightened in order to provide more safety guarantees to passengers. However, railroad accidents are still surprisingly common. Popular news stories revolve around derailments, speeding trains, fiery crashes, and renegade runaway trains.

When a railroad accident does happen, riders on the train face severe injuries and even fatalities. Riders can include operators, engineers, and employees, as well as passengers. In addition, freight trains carrying goods that are involved in accidents can cause astronomical property damage and halt business for the companies that rely on the items being transported. Local Virginia communities are also often adversely affected by these railroad accidents. The accidents can cause local property damage, as well as injuries and deaths of local residents. Aside from being responsible for cleaning up the accident, the railroad company will also be responsible for compensating victims for any damages or injuries.
