Train accidents can be caused by several different factors, which can include:

• Derailment

Determining the cause of the Bowling Green train accident is a vital part of your personal injury case. Morgan & Morgan can assess the accident scene and help determine fault.

Whether you’re a railroad employee, passenger, or bystander, if you’re injured in a Jacksonville train accident, there are a few steps you should take. These steps can help protect the integrity of your personal injury case.

Seek Medical Attention

One of the first and most important steps is to take care of your health. This means seeking immediate medical attention for your injuries. Even if you don’t have any obvious injuries, it’s still a good idea to make an appointment with a physician. Some injuries can take a few days before they start showing signs and/or symptoms. You’ll also need the medical records to help support your personal injury claim.

Contact an Attorney

Your next step should be to consult an attorney at Morgan & Morgan. We have a nationwide network of over 1,000 attorneys, and some are located in the Bowling Green area. If we decide to take your case, we will handle every aspect, including negotiating with the insurance provider. What you don’t want to do is accept a settlement offer before talking to an attorney. Once you accept a settlement, your case is considered closed, even if your medical expenses continue piling up.

Don’t Discuss the Accident

The only person with whom you should discuss the train accident is your attorney. Your words can be used against you by the defendant’s insurance company. This can affect your settlement amounts or even the integrity of your personal injury claim.
