Derailments, Accident Investigation and Personal Injury Claims

As part of our work with railroads and other transportation clients, the attorneys at Jackson Gilmour & Dobbs, PC are called on to respond to transportation related accidents involving train derailments, chemical releases, and personal injuries. We assist our clients from the initial phases of accident response and investigation through the ultimate resolution of the claims. By working directly with engineers and safety expert witnesses, we are able to determine the root cause of incidents and assign ultimate responsibility to the proper party or parties. We also address issues that arise with the Federal Railroad Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other regulatory bodies concerning accidents and safety compliance. Our lawyers also represent railroads and other transportation clients in defending personal injury claims, including railroad workers' claims pursuant to the Federal Employers Liability Act. Our knowledge and experience with railroads and transportation issues, combined with our in-depth understanding of environmental and regulatory matters, allow us to achieve favorable results.
