Railroad Accidents

The Cook County railroad accident lawyers at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. represent clients who have been harmed by railroad-related injuries. Typically, a moving train strikes a car or a pedestrian who is reckless when approaching a rail crossing. Sometimes, however, the motorist or pedestrian is not provided with adequate warning of the oncoming train before the railroad accident. This can result from the warning system at the crossing requiring repair, a warning light requiring replacement or the crossing bars not descending or ascending correctly. A Cook County railroad accident lawyer can help you to decide if you are eligible for compensation after a railroad accident.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
