If you’ve been involved in a rail accident, then our dedicated team can help you make a claim for compensation. We understand just how life-changing a rail accident can be – physically and psychologically. We have many years of experience representing people who have been involved in rail disasters.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to rail related accidents, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference. 

Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.

Above all, we put you first.

Handling Rail Accident Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

Whether you were involved in the rail accident yourself or you’ve lost a loved one, you’ll more than likely be worrying about what the future will bring for you and your family.

More pressingly, you’ll be concerned about the legal processes you may have to face - quite possibly an inquest and civil proceedings, a criminal trial and potentially a wider public inquiry.

Don’t worry. Irwin Mitchell has an experienced and empathetic team to guide and support you through this difficult time. We’ll consider all avenues to assist you, even those outside the legal process - for example, we can put you in touch with others in a similar position, if you think you’d find that helpful.
