In a railroad crossing, a railroad company and its train crew must use reasonable care to avoid injury to anyone traveling on highways crossed by the train tracks. This issue becomes complicated when one considers that it takes about one third of a mile to stop a train moving at an average speed. Most railroads are operated and owned by the government, which means that injury claims are governed by the "torts claims acts". These laws have strict time limitations for reporting injuries and filling law suits and are significantly more complicated than the laws governing motor vehicle accidents. Hiring an attorney who is familiar with the laws governing train accidents is crucial.
