Houston Railroad Accident Attorneys
Although no one likes to think that they're at risk, train accidents can occur suddenly and the injuries involved are often severe. Trains collide with semi-trucks. Passenger trains derail. Drivers and pedestrians are hit by light rail or METRORail trains. If you have been injured in a railroad accident, the experience may be life-changing. But you can take legal action to hold the railroad accountable.
The Krist Law Firm, in Houston, represents people injured in railroad accidents. We are one of the United States' leading plaintiff's personal injury law firms. With years of experience, our lawyers have achieved a great deal of success representing people who were seriously injured in large-scale accidents. Some of our most highly-publicized cases were representing the families of deceased astronauts in all three major NASA disasters: Apollo 1, the Challenger explosion and the Columbia accident.
Since 1968, our law firm has earned the respect of some of the nation's top legal institutions. Our attorneys have received honors such as admission to premier invitation-only trial lawyer organizations, listings in The Best Lawyers in America, listings as among The Top 100 Trial Lawyers in the State of Texas, designations as Texas Super Lawyers in Texas Monthly Magazine, and listed among The Best Lawyers in Houston by H-Texas Magazine. Our attorneys are all rated AV* by their peers as published in the Martindale Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, representing a rating of "the highest level of legal ability and very high adherence to the code of ethics."
We take cases to win them. When someone has been hurt in a train wreck, we explore every angle of their case. We research the law, investigate the facts and consult with reputable experts. Whatever the circumstances of the case, we are prepared to handle them, and there are many factors that may cause a railroad accident:
- Safety problems in the rail system
- Defectively designed trains
- Defectively designed transit corridors
- Failure to follow safety procedures
