Rail and Aviation Accidents

Where to Turn after a Rail or Aviation Accident

While most of our transportation cases involve cars and trucks, the general aviation attorneys at Friedman, Domiano & Smith in Cleveland also represent personal injury and wrongful death cases involving train collisions, private airplane crashes and airline disasters. We work with transportation experts to uncover the facts of accidents; then we identify and pursue all defendants who might have had a role in the crash.

Railroad Crossing Accidents

Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians can be severely injured or killed at railroad grade crossings—especially if they are poorly maintained or improperly marked. The railroad company is responsible for making sure that its signals, signs and markings are in good working order at all times. Railroad accident litigation has long been a particular strength of Friedman, Domiano & Smith. Our attentive care with the representation of grieving families in wrongful death cases is something our clients have come to greatly appreciate.

General Aviation Accidents

Whether your loved one was the pilot or a passenger in a Cessna or other light plane crash, your grief can make your life almost unbearable. We understand that the survivors of such tragedies need a reliable team to handle their legal claims. Our attorneys know how to investigate the facts and help you decide on a legal option. Questions we ask include:

• Was the pilot properly trained and certified?
• Was the aircraft in good repair?
• Should anyone have known about hazardous wind or weather conditions?
• Were control tower warnings properly transmitted and received?
