Train Wreck Casualties Spur Congress to Take Closer Look at Federal Rail Agency

NEW YORK, March 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The potential dangers of railroad crossings have made the news over the past few months. Just last month six people were killed when a commuter train hit an SUV at a grade crossing in Valhalla, N.Y. And earlier this month a Long Island, Rail Road train struck a car in Patchogue, N.Y. Pegasus Legal Funding has taken notice of the upswing in grade crossing accidents, which has prompted calls for federal legislation to improve railroad safety.

According to a recent article in the Washington Post, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) "…pulled together a team to come up with a better way to address an issue that kills hundreds of people at grade crossings each year," following the Valhalla accident. Another article posted on CBS New York stated that, "last year, grade crossing accidents killed four people in the Tri-State Area, and injured many others – seven in New York state, 16 in New Jersey and 10 in Connecticut."

Railroad accidents that result in injury, death or post-traumatic stress often lead to legal battles and create financial hardships for the victims and their families.  Obtaining the necessary proof can take time and cases often drag on, leaving victims and families out of work and unable to pay their day-to-day living expenses.   They find that making ends meet while waiting for their case to be successfully resolved proves to be difficult.  That's where a resource like Pegasus Legal Funding, the lawsuit settlement company, comes in.

"Even with an experienced attorney, cases involving the train collisions can be complicated and take time," said Bob Tansey of Pegasus. "That's where Pegasus can be a positive resource. We're here to give victims and their families the funds they need to make it through until their case is successfully resolved."
