Welcome to PritzkerOlsen, P.A.

Railroad Crossing Accident Wrongful Death

Many railroad crossing accidents result in death. When this happens, the next of kin (spouse, children, siblings, nieces, nephews and others) can bring a wrongful death claim to obtain compensation for their loss. Railroad Crossing

Through the legal process, the next of kin has an opportunity to recover amounts for funeral expenses, medical expenses, potential earnings, loss of advice, loss of comfort, loss of assistance, loss of protection, loss of counsel and loss of society. In cases where there is clear and convincing evidence that the acts of the defendant show deliberate disregard for the rights or safety of others, some states also allow for punitive damages.

Pritzker | Olsen, P.A., a national personal injury law firm, has extensive wrongful death experience. In many of our cases, defective products have played a role in the death. Our nationally-recognized product liability experience gives us an advantage in railroad crossing cases where a defective vehicle or defective railroad crossing safety equipment played a role in the accident. In cases where that is not clear, we can conduct our own investigation into the accident to determine the cause. You should know that we work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we don't get paid unless we recover compensation for you.

Attorneys Fred Pritzker, Elliot Olsen and Eric Hageman have been named "Super Lawyers" by Law & Politics magazine. Fred Pritzker is also listed in  The Best Lawyers in America.
