Railroad Accidents

Railroads are very viable options for moving goods and people, especially out here in the American West where we still have vast expanses of land between places. Railroads have been in place and in use for centuries, but accidents, including derailments, rail yard incidents, and railroad crossing accidents involving motor vehicles, continue to happen. Accidents involving trains most often lead to death but can also lead to loss of limbs, severe orthopedic injuries including crushed bones, and head and brain injuries.

At Metier Law Firm, LLC, we work with victims and families of victims of rail accidents. From wrongful death suits to catastrophic injury claims, we have worked with all manner of train accident cases and have recovered damages for the victims and victims’ families. We can hire independent investigators to determine if, for example, a railroad crossing is unreasonably unsafe, or if a particular safety procedure was not followed in a rail yard on a given day. We can have equipment examined for defects or modifications that make it unreasonably unsafe. And we have the medical experts to help us sort out what your injuries will mean to you over the years.

From our home base in Fort Collins and Boulder, Colorado, our dedicated railroad accident lawyers get compensation for our clients throughout the western United States, including Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, California, Oregon, and Washington.

We care about our clients and how their lives are affected by their injuries. Contact a Colorado railroad accident attorney to set up an initial consultation so that we can look at your case. Tell us how the accident has affected your life and let us evaluate your case to give you an idea of what we can do for you. Let us put our experience and dedication to work for you and your family.
