Liability for Railroad Crossing Deaths

When someone is struck and killed by a train at a railroad crossing there are many factors that police must investigate to determine liability. First, police will check to see if there was a stop sign installed in the vicinity of the train tracks? Also, if was there an operable crossing arm and clear pavement markings indicating a railroad crossing was ahead. Investigators must also check to see how fast the train was traveling, whether it was a safe speed for this location and if a warning horn was sounded by the engineer.

Suspected Drunk Driver Drives Under Semi-Truck

Thursday, June 13th, 2013

SAN MARCOS, California (June 13, 2013) – A suspected drunken driver was arrested early this morning after he wedged his car under a semi-truck while driving on Highway 78 in San Marcos. The man has a female passenger in his vehicle and she was taken to the hospital with severe injuries. According to The California Highway Patrol, the collision occurred on eastbound Highway 78 at Nordahl Road at about 1 a.m.

“I think everyone driving alongside a semi-truck notices sometimes that you could literally drive underneath it, but it almost would take an intoxicated person to accidentally or purposely do so,” states West Seegmiller, owner of The Seegmiller Law Firm.
