Michigan Train Accident Attorneys
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars Won for Accident Victims Across the U.S.
Every day, over 80,000 people ride more than 300 passenger trains, traveling at speeds up to 150 mph.

- Over 7,000 train accidents occur each year.
- Over 3,000 train accidents lead to death, injury, and property damage each year.
- Over 80% of railroad crossings have insufficient warning signals and devices.
