Louisiana Auto Accident: 5 Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer about Your Claim [Part B]

Why An Automobile Accident Claim Against A Train Can Often Be Easy To Win

Unfortunately many individuals are seriously or critically injured each year at railroad crossings in Louisiana. While the damages in these cases are often catastrophic, sometimes proving these cases can be less complicated than imagined.

Locomotive trains, similar to 18 wheeler trucks, are heavily regulated by the United States Government. The locomotive trains keep significant data in the train's data recorder. This data can be downloaded and provides a good history of the movements and actions of the train immediately prior to the accident. Our office has worked with locomotive experts in the past to prove the critical movements of a train immediately prior to an accident. This data includes the speed of the train, whether or not the train was using one or more of its available brakes, whether the train was sounding its whistle and if so and what manner, and other critical evidence regarding the train's activities.

Even though many train and automobile accidents involve witnesses to the accident who "swear" they saw the automobile race to beat the train across the crossing, obtaining the train's data recorder can often prove that the train failed to properly slow down, signal or take other action which could have prevented the accident. If you do not have this critical data very often your case will be lost based on the unreliable testimony of witnesses who may not have even seen the entire accident.

If you have any questions regarding the data that can be obtained from a train following an automobile accident at a railroad crossing, contact our office. Similar to 18 wheeler truck accident claims, it is often critical that suit be filed immediately against a locomotive company in order to obtain the data from the locomotive's data recorder.
