Minnesota has thousands of active railroad tracks, and trains traverse the entire state on a daily basis. While trains running through Minnesota are usually safe and well-maintained, accidents still occur. Collisions and other train accidents are often much more severe than motor vehicle accidents due to the massive difference in size and weight. When trains collide with a car or pedestrian, the accidents are often fatal. Many injuries to vehicle drivers occur at railroad crossings. Many crossings are lacking in safety and notices, and trains do not always give notice of crossings by blowing their whistle. Our office has handled railroad crossing cases nationwide, with great result. If you or someone you know has been injured at a railroad crossing, call Knutson Casey.
