Lawyers for Train Accidents

When our client, Tomlin Trucking, Inc. accidentally caused the derail of a Kansas City Southern train in Buckner, Arkansas, our team of experts were on the scene within hours. Every two hours, a person or a vehicle in the United States is hit by a train, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Because of their heavy weight, trains are unable to stop quickly. Weighing on average 4,000 times more than the average car, a train can take one mile to come to a stop whereas a car requires only 200 feet.

Not surprisingly, catastrophic injury and death often result from train accidents. We help injured Arkansans and Texans and their families hold responsible the persons or companies whose negligence or intentional act caused a train accident.
