Train and railroad accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, financial hardship, and emotional distress. At Lundy LLP, we specialize in representing motorists involved in railroad crossing accidents, as well as train passengers, and pedestrians injured in train-related incidents.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a railroad accident in Louisiana, our experienced attorneys are here to help you secure the compensation you deserve. 

Our Focus: Louisiana Railroad Crossing Accidents 

A significant portion of train-related accidents occur at railroad crossings, often involving motorists. These incidents can arise from factors such as malfunctioning signals, obscured signage, or negligence on the part of the train operators or railway companies. Lundy LLP has extensive experience representing drivers and passengers who have suffered due to:

  • Defective or malfunctioning crossing signals – When warning systems fail, drivers are left vulnerable to high-speed train collisions. 
  • Obstructed or missing railroad crossing signs – Poor signage increases the risk of accidents. 
  • Negligent train operation – Failure to sound horns, excessive speed, or distracted operation. 
  • Railroad company negligence – Lack of maintenance or failure to follow federal and state safety regulations. 


Other Train Accident Cases We Handle
 

Beyond railroad crossing accidents, Lundy LLP provides legal representation for: 

  • Train passengers injured in derailments, sudden stops, or onboard hazards. 
  • Pedestrian train accidents, especially those caused by unsafe crossings or train operator negligence. 
  • Fatal train accidents, leading to wrongful death claims for grieving families. 


Louisiana Train Accident Laws & Liability
 

Determining liability in Louisiana railroad accidents can be complex. Potentially responsible parties include: 

  • Railroad companies (e.g., Amtrak, Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern) for failure to maintain crossings. 
  • Train operators who were negligent, distracted, or impaired. 
  • Railroad equipment manufacturers if mechanical defects contributed to the accident. 
  • Government entities for unsafe or poorly maintained crossings. 

Our legal team thoroughly investigates Louisiana train accident cases to build strong claims for compensation.
