It may be necessary to preserve evidence. An experienced train accident attorney may need to take pictures of the railroad, the automobiles or train cars involved, road conditions, or the injuries you’ve suffered. A train accident attorney might seek to find video footage of the train, black box data, data from cross-rails, or collect other evidence to be safely stored for later inspection by a train accident expert.

HIRING TRAIN ACCIDENT EXPERTS

Train and railroad accident cases require a heightened knowledge of federal and state regulations, which makes this type of accident case complex and difficult to litigate. It is often appropriate to use expert witnesses whose knowledge and ability to communicate with a judge or jury about industry maintenance standards for railroad tracks, or the manner in which your accident occurred, that may make a difference in the outcome of your case. Expert witnesses frequently testify about:

  • Maintenance standards on railways;
  • Whether train employees followed safety laws designed to protect you,
  • Standards or customs of reasonable care in the rail industry;
  • The chain of events leading to the train accident;
  • Factors that may have contributed to the train accident, such as negligence, under-staffing, lack of supervision, or the foreseeability of an accident; and
  • Recreation of railroad accident scenes.

Expert witnesses may also help by evaluating and explaining the injuries you or your loved one has suffered. Severe injuries may change your quality of life, your mobility, or the way you are able to complete tasks. Many train accident cases result in injuries that require victims to undergo extensive surgeries and may leave life-long damage. Experts such as neurologists, surgeons, economists, life-case planners, vocational rehab and physical therapists, are necessary in cases where you or a loved one has been severely injured. It is important that you choose an attorney with enough monetary resources to hire the necessary expert witnesses if you hope to obtain the maximum compensation for your injuries.
