Rail systems play a crucial role in commerce and commuting. Our practice addresses the laws that govern rail carriers, freight operations, and passenger safety.
The Surface Transportation Board and Federal Railroad Administration regulate freight rates, track standards, and safety requirements. We help carriers and shippers understand these rules to keep operations running smoothly.
Gabriel Smith works closely with businesses to secure permits, negotiate trackage rights, and address hazardous materials regulations that apply throughout Alabama.
When a collision or derailment occurs, immediate investigation preserves evidence and clarifies fault. Our firm coordinates with experts to evaluate equipment failures and compliance issues.
We assist injured workers, landowners, and passengers with the claims process while navigating federal statutes and state laws that determine liability.
Clear agreements are vital when moving goods by rail. We draft and review shipping contracts, easements, and real estate documents to protect our clients' interests across the network.
