A railroad can be liable for an accident at a railroad crossing if it maintains a dangerous crossing. A crossing can be dangerous because of poor visibility due to overgrown vegetation or some other obstruction. The Polar Express Train in Lubbock hit a Mustang in Wolfforth at 8 mph. A crossing can be dangerous if it fails to have lights and gates to warn motorist of an oncoming train. A railroad can also be liable for failing to sound audible warnings such as a horn or whistle as they approach the crossing.Railroad litigation is very specialized and complex.
