Railroad Accidents

Railroad Accident Lawyers in Opelousas

Train Derailments. Train Collisions. We Can Help.

Accidents can happen anywhere on the road, but some of the most devastating can result from railroad collisions and related crashes. Railroad accident injuries are often severe and leave victims with mounting medical debt and turmoil to deal with for years to come. When dealing with these situations, it’s important to have a lawyer experienced in railroad accident personal injury cases.

Morrow, Morrow, Ryan, Bassett & Haik (MMRB&H) served as co-lead counsel in the Class Action resulting from the Eunice Train Derailment against Union Pacific Railroad. That case was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana and resulted in a multi-million dollar settlement*.  If you’ve been injured from a railroad accident, contact our team to learn more about how to proceed. Located in Opelousas, MMRB&H has ample experience handling railroad injury cases, and our lawyers are here to help you receive the compensation you need.
