❓ If I am injured in a train collision, to whom can I make a claim?
Potential defendants include the railroad or transit operator, the track/grade-crossing owner, signal/maintenance contractors, the engineer/crew, equipment or signal manufacturers, and any negligent motorists whose actions contributed to the crash.
❓ What Are The Duties And Responsibilities Of A Train Crew As They Approach A Public Grade Crossing?
Maintain a proper lookout, obey speed limits and signals, use headlights/bell/horn as required, brake when hazards are observed, and report any warning-device failures or obstructions.
❓ Is it important to retain a lawyer who is willing to perform a thorough investigation and hire experts in railroad collision and/or light rail transit collision cases?
Absolutely. Effective cases often require experts in train operations, human factors, signal engineering, accident reconstruction, and biomechanics, plus rapid preservation of black-box/event-recorder data, PTC data, cab video, and maintenance records.

❓ If I was struck by a commercial truck while driving in that truck's blind spot, am I liable?
Not automatically. Both drivers must use reasonable care; fault is decided by what each did or failed to do (e.g., unsafe lane change, lack of signal, speed). Comparative fault may split responsibility.
❓ I was involved in an accident with an 18-wheeler. What happens now? What do I do?
Call 911, get medical care, photograph vehicles/scene, get witnesses and company/DOT info, avoid admissions, preserve your vehicle, and consult an attorney quickly.
❓ Do I really need to hire a lawyer to handle a trucking accident case? Won't the at fault party take care of my expenses?
Insurers protect their insureds and bottom line. A lawyer levels the field, preserves proof, and seeks full compensation.

❓ What is a loss of consortium claim in Florida? How much is my spouse's claim worth?
It compensates spouses for loss of companionship/services; value depends on evidence and state law.
❓ How do you prove that the driver was texting?
Phone records, admissions, app logs, timestamped messages, witnesses, and crash reconstruction.
❓ What is Collision Coverage?
Optional first-party coverage that pays to repair/replace your car after a crash, regardless of fault (minus deductible).
