Railroad injury claims

Our American legal system is based upon principles of justice and fair play. If you have been injured in a railroad accident, you have the legal right to pursue a claim to be compensated for your injuries. However, while you have many rights under the law, attempting to preserve these rights by dealing with the railroad directly can feel like David battling Goliath. The fact is that in these matters the legal playing field is not level. Railroads have tremendous resources behind them to pour into legal defense. Their claims system is designed to minimize their liability and reduce any potential payout.
To protect your legal rights and maximize your compensation, you need Petro & Harrington on your side. We know how to deal with railroads and insurance companies. We have the experience and resources to help you achieve the best possible result.
