Why Hire a Train Accident Lawyer?
A train accident can wreck your life and the life of your loved ones in so many ways, but there’s hope for overcoming the hardships and regaining control. Your future depends on the outcome of your injury claim, and that, in turn, depends on the results your train accident attorney in New Jersey and Pennsylvania gets for you. Having skilled legal representation on your side is worth it for the advantages it provides you throughout the claims process.
Deep Knowledge of Train Accident Law
Train accident cases are complex. They often involve multiple defendants, which may potentially include:
- Railway companies
- Maintenance contractors
- Government entities
Each of these parties may bear some responsibility for the accident. An experienced New Jersey and Pennsylvania train accident lawyer understands the nuances of these cases and can thoroughly investigate the causes of the accident to hold the correct parties accountable.
Understanding of Federal and State Regulations
Train companies operate under a complex patchwork of regulations enforced by federal and state authorities, including the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Due to our familiarity with these regulations, your train accident attorney in New Jersey and Pennsylvania can identify any violations of these regulations that may have contributed to your accident. Being able to point to specific violations can significantly strengthen your claim.
Comprehensive Investigation and Evidence Collection
A successful train accident claim requires gathering substantial evidence. To prove negligence and breach of duty as required in a personal injury claim, your train accident lawyer will analyze evidence such as the following:
- Maintenance records
- Surveillance footage
- Witness statements
At Anapol Weiss, our team has the resources and skills to conduct a thorough investigation. We work with accident reconstruction experts, engineers, and medical professionals to build a compelling case on your behalf.
Strong Skills for Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts to accident victims. In addition to putting your financial recovery at risk, dealing with defendants’ insurance companies can be a frustrating process.
At Anapol Weiss, we’re as committed to minimizing your stress as we are to maximizing your compensation. Your train accident attorney will handle all communications with the insurance companies, ensuring that your rights are protected. We are experienced in negotiating fair settlements, but we are also prepared to take your case to court if necessary to secure the compensation you deserve.
Dedication to Recovering Maximum Compensation for Your Injuries
Train accidents can result in catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Victims may require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and support. At Anapol Weiss, we understand the lifelong impact of serious injuries, and we fight to ensure that our clients receive the full compensation they deserve for their current and future expenses.
Without professional legal help, you’re taking on a train or transportation company, their insurance company, and other defendants on your own. This puts you at a disadvantage, especially since these defendants you’re seeking to hold accountable will certainly have legal guidance of their own. You should retain an experienced train accident lawyer not only to improve your chances for a successful financial recovery but also to reduce the stress of handling an injury claim.
