A railroad's legal responsibilities to injured motorists and pedestrians will depend upon the factual circumstances of the actual train accident. Usually pedestrian and motorist claims against railroads will be decided under the negligence laws of the state where the accident occurred.
For example, for injuries occurring at railroad/roadway crossings, the general rule is that cars must yield and trains have the right of way. Individual circumstances may change or increase a railroad's duties. For that reason you should always contact an experienced attorney if you have been injured in a train accident.
