A: That depends on who is injured and who caused the accident. Assuming that the railroad is liable for the accident, the railroad is legally obligated to pay damages resulting from the accident. If the injured party is a railroad worker, the Federal Employee Liability Act (FELA) would hold the railroad responsible for damages. Even if the injured party is a train passenger or motorist, the railroad may still be liable for personal injury damages.
Damages may include compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost income, out of pocket expenses, and pain and suffering.
For more information about who may be responsible for paying your damages after a New Jersey or New York railroad crossing accident, please contact a New York FELA attorney or a New Jersey railroad lawyer for a free consultation.
