Train Accident Attorneys
Injured at a Railroad Crossing? We Fight the Giants.
Train accidents aren’t just “big car crashes.” They involve federal laws, massive insurance policies, and aggressive defense teams. You need a firm that knows the tracks.
Since its launch, the high-speed rail service running through downtown Fort Lauderdale has seen a staggering number of collisions. The problem isn’t just “bad drivers”—it’s the design of the system itself.
Trains travel at speeds up to 79 mph through densely populated areas like Las Olas and Flagler Village. When you combine silent electric engines, confusing multi-lane crossings, and signal timing that sometimes leaves drivers trapped on the tracks, disaster is inevitable. At Fenstersheib Law Group, we hold the railroad accountable for putting profit over public safety.
The Danger: This is the busiest intersection in the city. Drivers turning East/West often get backed up by traffic, leaving their rear bumper hanging over the tracks when the gate comes down.
The Danger: Located right next to the nightlife district and the Museum of Discovery. Pedestrians and confused tourists often misjudge the speed of the oncoming train.
The Danger: High-speed traffic meets high-speed trains. The visual clutter of traffic lights and street signs can make the railroad signals hard to see until it’s too late.
In almost every case, the railroad will argue that the driver “went around the gate” or ignored the lights. They want to blame the victim 100%. We defeat this strategy by digging deeper:
Urgent: Railroad companies are federally regulated. They can destroy certain data after a short period if we do not file a legal preservation order. Contact us immediately.
Don’t let the railroad bully you. We have the resources to fight back.
