If not handled properly by an experienced railroad lawyer, victims and the families of victims of train derailments, train accidents, railroad accidents, as well as injured railroad workers can get "railroaded" by the officers and claims departments of railroad companies. Often, in an attempt to lead victims and their families into a quick and unfair settlement, railroad claims department representatives will contact victims and their families and offer money. If you accept this quick settlement you will have no further claims against the railroad. It is our experience that these quick settlements often underpay the injured victim and their family. At the same time, the railroad will try and conduct a taped interview with questions that are designed to make the railroad look blameless. This can come back to haunt the victims and their families when they learn how bad the injuries are, the financial consequences of those injuries, and what a fair settlement should have been.
Railroad tricks don't end once the lawsuit is filed. In one case handled by Mark Baran, a railroad claim's agent testified under oath that he walked into his supervisor's office and witnessed his boss "shredding" investigative pictures which were evidence in the case. Two passengers were killed when the vehicle they were in was hit by a train at a railroad crossing. According to the railroad claim's agent, as his supervisor was shredding the photographs he was told to consider this as a training exercise.
Attorneys at Reddy Baran & Kral have faced situations where the railroad does not produce "blackbox" information regarding the speed of the train at the time of the collision or whether the horn was being properly blown. Track inspection reports disappear and voice communications between the train crew and the dispatch center are not produced. It takes experienced attorneys to know what information the railroad should produce to them and what to do if the railroad fails to produce that information. As the railroad throws up obstacles to gaining the truth, experienced attorneys such as Reddy, Baran, and Kral have the knowledge to work to overcome those obstacles.
Undeniably, corporations serve a valuable purpose in our society and deserve to be treated fairly by our laws. However, just as we are all held accountable for our individual actions, corporations who act carelessly or put profits before public and employee safety should also be held accountable. Our civil justice system recognizes that an injured person and their family should not be abandoned. Under our civil justice system, an injured person and their family must go to court to seek fair and just compensation for their injuries and the resulting financial losses. Without such compensation an injured person and their family would be left to government welfare and become a burden on our taxpayers. Our civil justice system recognizes that it is far better for the corporation and their insurance company to bear the cost of the corporation's wrongdoing then to put this burden on taxpayers.

How Do Railroads Generally Make Decisions Concerning Safety? If victims of railroad negligence do nothing then the railroad will go right on failing to put the necessary safety measures in place. The result - more avoidable injuries and deaths.
If railroads believe they will not be held responsible for their negligent acts, then they are less likely to make the necessary investment in safety, training, or equipment. By selecting a qualified lawyer to fully investigate and discover the underlying facts of railroad negligence you are making a difference for yourself and for others. You are helping hold railroads responsible and letting them know that they cannot get away with causing injury or death through their wrongful conduct. When you take on the railroad you should be confident that the lawyers you choose have the ability, knowledge, and dedication to properly fight for your interests and take the railroad to trial if that becomes necessary.
