Arizona Train Accident Lawyer
Train Accident Attorney Serving Injured Clients throughout Arizona
When you get hurt in a train accident, your injuries can be debilitating. This kind of accident often means that you cannot return to work, and without any income, it can be difficult or even impossible to keep up with your medical bills. When the railroad company’s negligence, or the carelessness of one of its employees, caused the accident in which you were injured, you deserve to seek financial compensation for your losses.
Depending upon how the accident happened, you may have either two or three years from the date of the incident to file your claim. However, it is important to speak with an Arizona train accident lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that we can build the strongest possible case for you.

How Long Do I Have to File an Arizona Train Accident Lawsuit?
The answer to this question depends upon whether you have a state or federal claim. To give you a better understanding, we want to discuss both Arizona state claims, as well as claims that may be brought under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
Our firm focuses on public safety and injuries to passengers, pedestrians, and other individuals who have been harmed as a result of railroad company negligence. As such, we do not handle FELA claims, but it is important to understand what these are and how they differ from public safety issues and personal injury claims arising out of train accidents.

Arizona Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
In Arizona and throughout the country, train accident lawsuit timetables can be complicated depending upon how the incident occurred. Generally speaking, individuals who are injured in a train accident in Arizona may be able to file a claim in state court that is bound by Arizona law and the state’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims. To be clear, the statute of limitations is the amount of time a party has, typically from the date of the accident, to file a claim for compensation. If the injured party fails to file a claim within that statutory period, then she can lose her right to seek compensation through a civil lawsuit.
Many individuals injured in Arizona train crashes will need to adhere to the two-year statute of limitations, including:
- Train passengers;
- Pedestrians;
- Occupants of passenger car vehicles; and
- Other injury victims who are not employed by the railroad in some capacity.
If your injury occurred in another nearby state while you were on a train trip that originated in Arizona, you should reach out to a train accident lawyer as soon as possible. Your case may have a different statute of limitations, and it is important to learn more from an experienced advocate who can ensure that your claim gets filed on time.
