Poorly Marked Railroad Crossings

As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney I can tell you that a 20-year-old Chattanooga Tennessee man is one lucky son-of-a-gun. The man was crossing a railroad crossing that has only minimal signage and his pickup truck was struck by a train, pushed from the tracks, overturned and ended up in a ditch. The only injury he sustained was a minor shoulder injury from his seatbelt holding him in position. He traded a little shoulder pain for much more serious injury if he had been ejected from his vehicle.

Neighbors said the crossing is unsafe because of a curve that only allows motorists to see approximately 75 feet down the track. They say that there have been many close calls and a number of collisions. This accident, as well as those that occurred previously should put the railroad operators on notice of this dangerous condition and force them to add additional warning signs to prevent further injury or loss of life.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a serious Tennessee car accident due to somebody else’s negligence, then you may be feeling angry, frightened, or even alone in your suffering.

There is no reason for you to bear your burden alone.  The experience of a Tennessee auto accident is traumatic enough and your recovery will bring its own challenges.  You don’t need the added stress of worrying about who will pay for the medical care you need, how your car will be repaired, and if the individuals responsible for your suffering will be brought to justice.  This is the time to call Phillip Miller & Associates, the law firm of local Tennessee attorneys and staff who for the past 25 years have dedicated their lives to protecting the rights of injured men, women, and children in Tennessee.
