Maybe, but we urge you to exercise extreme caution. If possible, contact a skilled train accident lawyer, like a member of the team at Emroch & Kilduff, for advice before you speak with any investigator about the Richmond train accident that injured you or a loved one.
Lots of parties may want to investigate a train accident in Richmond. Some, like the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), investigate because it’s their mission to understand the causes of train accidents and to promote train safety. Others, like a state law enforcement agency, may want to know if the train accident happened because someone broke a criminal law. And, still others, like investigators hired by insurance companies and defense lawyers, aim to find evidence that gets their clients off-the-hook for paying damages to train accident victims.
Speaking with these investigators can affect your legal rights to compensation. We encourage you to have a skilled train accident lawyer advising you when deciding whether, when, and in what capacity to talk to any investigator about a Richmond train accident.
