Light Rail Injuries
With the growing popularity of the light rail Hiawatha Line and the new commuter Northstar Line, more Minnesota residents are utilizing public transportation. Unfortunately, an increased number of light rail injuries has accompanied the trend. Riders can be injured due to sudden starts and stops, door closings and slip-and-fall incidents. Further, innocent bystanders can be struck by trains.
We represent individuals who have sustained a range of injuries in light rail accidents, including:
- Amputations
- Brain injuries
- Spine injuries
- Fractures
- Disfigurement
- Broken bones
As your legal representatives, we will launch an immediate investigation into your accident. We will take action to acquire the camera footage from the train, consult with experts and determine the cause of your injury. Our goal is to hold the government accountable for its negligence.
Train Injuries
Railroads remain a popular high-volume, low-cost method to ship freight and goods. Companies such as Burlington Northern are obligated to follow federal regulations designed to ensure safety. However, railroad train accidents still occur. Because of the weight and speed of these trains, resulting injuries are usually serious, frequently including wrongful deaths.
Common train accidents include:
- Railroad crossing signal failure
- Intersection accidents
- Derailment of cars
Since our lawyers understand the federal regulations, we are able to effectively investigate train accidents and identify liability.
