Railroad Accidents

Kansas City Railroad Accident Lawyers

Were You Hit by a Train at an Unguarded Crossing?

Unmarked railroad crossings are among the most dangerous places on our roads. Railroads are negligent when a crossing arm doesn’t work, or warning signals fail to sound.

Railroad companies are required by law to ensure that road crossings are well marked, safe for traffic, and that lights and rail gates and guards are operational. Unfortunately, many people are seriously injured and killed every year at unsafe crossings. A series of recent Supreme Court rulings, however, has come down on the side of railroad management. As such, winning a fair settlement for negligence is becoming increasingly difficult. An experienced attorney is an essential resource if you or a loved one have been injured in a railroad accident.

Chariton County Amtrak Derailment

Shamberg, Johnson & Bergman is currently reviewing potential claims from victims involved in the fatal Amtrak derailment near Mendon, Missouri on May 27, 2022.

While federal regulators are investigating the incident and possible causes, new information has been released regarding potential failures to clear vegetation near the crossing after the Chariton County commission alerted both MoDOT and BNSF Railway (the owner of the railroad) about visibility issues approximately a month before the crash. This preliminary information, as well as other findings to come, could provide a basis for victims to hold responsible parties liable for their damages.

If you were injured in the Chariton County Amtrak crash or lost a loved one in the fatal derailment, our attorneys can evaluate your available legal options and discuss how we may be able to help you fight for justice. To request a FREE case review, call (816) 542-5999 or contact us online.
