Train Accidents
Las Vegas Train Accident Attorneys
Our nation’s railroad network supports shipping freight and millions of passengers around the country. According to its website, Amtrak alone serves more than 500 destinations in 46 states with over 21,000 miles of routes. However, people get hurt when the companies involved prioritize profit over safety or maintenance. Due to the sheer size and speed of rail cars, train accidents almost always result in massive destruction and loss.

Whether you were a passenger on the train, a railroad employee, or a driver or passenger in a motor vehicle involved in the train crash, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries or the death of your loved one.
