Colton Personal Injury Lawyers
Colton Accident Attorneys
Named after a Southern Pacific Transportation Company legacy, Colton remains a busy and central rail station today. Recognized as one of the busiest at grade rail crossings in the United States with two major freeways (Interstate 10 and Interstate 210), numerous freight trains and commercial trucks pass through Colton, making Colton the site of a number of accidents each year. A collision with either of these large transportation vehicles can result in serious injury or wrongful death, leaving victims struggling with the enormous physical, emotional, and financial difficulties. Estey Bomberger attorneys have represented San Bernardino County’s accident victims and have handled cases throughout the Inland Empire.
Colton Transportation Accidents
At grade rail crossings are one of the most dangerous types of railway intersections, at level with the roadways, such crossings intersect streets and pathways without recourse to a tunnel or bridge. Such crossings leave drivers and pedestrians exposed to passing cargo trains and can result in a serious accident. An impact with one of the enormous freight trains that pass through Colton, would likely result in broken bones, spinal cord injury, back injury, amputation, traumatic brain injury, internal organ injury or even wrongful death.
The many trucks that pass through Colton pose a similar risk. While significantly smaller than freight trains, a commercial truck can weigh up to 40 tons. A collision with a commercial truck can result in similar devastating injuries. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident that occurred as a result of a distracted train conductor or a negligent truck driver, it is within your rights to seek legal help. Injuries sustained from a serious accident with either of these dangerous transportation vehicles will require a long recovery, thousands of dollars of medical fees, and have no guarantee of complete recovery.
