Setting the foundation for a train derailment lawsuit
It is important to know the cause of the accident. You must be able to specifically prove that the train company was negligent in the events leading up to the derailment in order to fully recover the compensation you deserve. Our Philadelphia train derailment attorneys have the skills, resources and dogged determination it takes to aggressively represent victims of train accidents.
The most common causes of train derailments leading to liability include:

Accepting settlements from railroad companies
Train companies are often quick to minimize their liability in the aftermath of an accident. They want to offer you a sum of money that you accept before you take the time to speak with an experienced Philadelphia train accident attorney. Train companies are not going to offer you a full value settlement after a train derailment—that is why you need to speak with our experienced Philadelphia train derailment attorneys before taking any action that may limit your compensation in the future. We help you understand the full value for your injuries. You may be able to recover compensation for more than just the cost of your medical treatments. Unfortunately, once you sign a settlement agreement with them, you lose your rights to pursue further legal action from the train derailment.
