Indianapolis - Fort Wayne - Train and Airline Accidents

Intensive safety regulation, improved technology, and high professional standards have made both railroad and aviation accidents much less common than either used to be, but these serious and sometimes catastrophic accidents continue to occur. The physical consequences can range from the fractures and soft tissue injuries that passengers in a commuter train derailment might experience to the fatal consequences of a private or commercial plane crash.

Train Accidents FAQ's

In any accident involving trains, whether it was a car crash at a poorly marked railroad crossing or a mass disaster caused by a bridge collapse or equipment failure, Indiana train accident attorney Tony Zirkle emphasizes early and highly professional investigation of the factors that led to the accident. Our examination of the facts covers everything from compliance with regulations, preservation of the evidence, signal function, right of way maintenance records, and the past history of train accidents at the same crossing or involving the same railroad personnel.

Aviation accidents, ranging from private plane crashes to accidents involving commuter or commercial airlines, involve many similar lines of inquiry in order to pinpoint the causes of the accident and establish the defendant's liability for your losses. We rely on highly qualified forensic professionals to analyze the circumstances of every factor from pilot training to aircraft maintenance and operation. In commercial airline disasters, where the number of victims can be in the hundreds, the wrongful death lawsuits are usually handled together in federal multidistrict litigation, which can make it easier for the surviving families to pursue their claims in a single proceeding.

Indianapolis transportation accident lawyer Tony Zirkle has the courtroom experience necessary to ensure that the complex facts surrounding a plane crash or train wreck will be presented clearly and effectively.
