The Dangers of Railroad Crossings
Railroad crossings pose many dangers for pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicle occupants. The warning lights and bells might malfunction, failing to notify the public of an oncoming train. The gates might not lower to prevent pedestrians or vehicles from crossing the tracks, which could lead to a serious accident. If these issues result in a crash, you might be able to file a claim against New Jersey Transit or the entity responsible for maintaining that equipment.
