Causes of Illinois Railroad Crossing Accidents

Attorney Robert H. Gregory knows there can be many causes of Illinois railroad crossing accidents, including the following:

• Unprotected railroad crossing
• Worn crossbuck (cross buck) markings
• Missing crossbuck (cross buck) markings
• Crossbucks (cross bucks) with no reflectors
• Signal malfunction
• Obstructed view of crossing
• Vegetation, road grade, or curves (track or road)
• Defective roadway design
• Failure to signal (audible or visual)
• Failure to use train whistle

Train accidents, especially railroad crossing accidents can involve cars, trucks, agricultural machinery (e.g., tractors), and motorcycles. Because of the speed, weight, and size of the train, the consequences of a railroad accident are usually catastrophic. We can make sure you receive the fair and just compensation you deserve, and bring some closure to the railroad accident.
