Chicago Railroad Accident Attorney
Railroad companies owe certain duties to the public. When a crossing gate malfunctions, an area of track is defective, or a train travels at excessive speed, the railroad company breaches that duty.
With the sheer number of railroad lines operating in Illinois, trains present a more pressing risk than the public may be aware. Behind Texas, there are more train accidents in Illinois than any other state in the United States.
