Columbus Accident Attorney
What Are The Railroad's Responsibilities In The Area Of Providing Grade Crossing Protection?
The final decision on the level of grade crossing protection to be provided is
made subject to federal approval. Therefore, railroads are not usually held liable
on the issue of the adequacy of such protection. However, railroads typically
install and maintain the protective devices selected. So, they can be found liable
when a grade crossing accident is found to have been caused in part or whole from
improper installation and/or maintenance of those devices.
