The Hazards of Rural Railroad Crossings
There are certainly railroad crossing accidents in large cities such as Lincoln and Omaha. However, in the small towns and rural areas of Nebraska, many crossings are not properly maintained by the railroad. Issues including broken crossing gates, missing lights and gate malfunctions are just some of the reasons motorists are unaware of the crossing.
Another problem is the number of private crossings. These railroad crossings do not intersect a public road and may be located in the country, but the railroad is still responsible for properly maintaining them. In these cases, it is not unusual for the tracks to cross a gravel road or unpaved road.
Railroad Crossing Accident Injuries
A collision with a train, even if you are in a vehicle, will cause severe injuries. People often suffer catastrophic injuries such as brain and spinal injuries. Unfortunately, many people are also killed in these accidents. If railroad negligence caused a family member to suffer wrongful death, an experienced railroad injury lawyer can help you.
