What Are The Duties And Responsibilities Of A Train Crew As They
Approach A Public Grade Crossing?
Railroads have a duty to provide due and timely warning to the
general public when their trains approach a crossing. By federal law, all trains
must be equipped with (and have on) headlights of a specified brightness and
horns that produce a warning sound which meets a minimum loudness standard.
State laws often specify that a horn must be sounded when approaching a crossing.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call an Ohio accident lawyer at Robert W. Kerpsack
Co., L.P.A. at (614) 766-2000 in Columbus, Ohio or toll free (800) 944-0755
or submit an online questionnaire. The initial
consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will
work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only
if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed
before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please
call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
