What are the railroad's responsibilities in the area of providing grade crossing protection to avoid a train accident?
Since the final decision on the level of grade crossing protection to be provided is made subject to federal approval, the railroads are not usually held liable on the issue of the adequacy of such protection. However, normally the railroads install and maintain the protective devices selected and may therefore be found negligent when a grade crossing accident is found to have been caused in part or whole from improper installation and/or maintenance of those devices. If you have been injured because of faulty grade crossing equipment or inadequate grade crossing protection, contact an experienced accident attorney immediately to preserve your rights.
