Railroad Crossing Crashes
Railroad crossings are potentially dangerous locations. Collisions between trains and motor vehicles are often fatal. While the railroad crew must warn of the approach of the train by sounding its whistle, that warning often cannot be heard inside vehicles with the windows up or the stereo on. Since sight distances are also often limited, the city or county in which the crossing is located must provide adequate warning of the approach of the train by flashing lights, automatic gates, or both. The type of protection needed depends on many factors, including the sight distances available, the speed of the train, the speed limit on the approaching highway, and the number and type of prior accidents at each location. Where a city or county may share responsibility with the railroad for warnings and protections at railroad crossings in Arizona, written notice of any claim must be provided to the governmental entity within 180 days. If you or a family member is the victim of a railroad accident, contact the lawyers of Begam & Marks, serving the greater Phoenix area, to schedule a consultation.
Aviation Accidents
An airplane or a helicopter crash may be the result of one or more causes. It may result from pilot error, air traffic control error or a defect in the manufacture or design of the aircraft. Determining the true cause or causes of an aviation accident may require an extensive investigation by many different specialists. Although the National Transportation Safety Board investigates these crashes, the investigator’s opinions may be influenced by participation in the investigation of aircraft manufacturers or the manufacturer of one of its component parts. If you or a family member have been involved in an aircraft crash, whether as a pilot who believes he did nothing wrong, or as an innocent passenger, you should consult a team of aviation accident attorneys, like those at the Phoenix firm of Begam & Marks, who have handled these cases on behalf of those injured -- and on behalf of the surviving family members of those who have been killed – to help sort out who is truly responsible.
Watersports and Boating Accidents
Boats and personal watercraft are subject to laws that are similar to motor vehicle laws. There are many boating rules and regulations that govern the movement and speeds of boats and personal watercraft on lakes and rivers. Violation of those rules and regulations, including driving under the influence of alcohol, may result in a collision and may be the basis of a finding of negligence which caused injury. Our boat accident lawyers in Phoenix have also found that injuries may occur as a result of defective products such as defects in boats, boat motors, propellers, emergency equipment, water skis, tow ropes, water toys and more. In that event, the claim may involve suit against the product manufacturer and seller. The activities that people engage in around water, such as diving and jumping into the water, can be very dangerous. A business near the water (such as a restaurant, bar or party facility) or a business which operates on the water (such as a river tour business) must exercise reasonable care for the safety of its customers and guests.
