St. Louis, Missouri, Lawyer Handling Railroad Accidents
Railroad accidents can cause serious injuries and death — but why? Shouldn't railroad companies be expected to make sure their crossings are safe enough to prevent motorists from coming within such a dangerous distance of passing trains?
If you were injured or a loved one was killed in a railroad accident, you are entitled to compensation. If you take action, you can make the railroad company take notice of its problems and prevent tragedies like yours from ever occurring again.

If you are a railroad employee who was injured on the job, then you will have coverage under the Federal Employee Liability Act. Learn more about your FELA rights here.
You Can Take Action and Fight Back Against Negligence
There are thousands of railroad crossing accidents every year, and more than 1,000 fatalities. By taking action to fight against the negligence of railroad companies, you can recover the compensation you need while simultaneously encouraging the safety of your fellow citizens and motorists. Attorney Dressen has represented railroad companies and defended them against crossing claims. He now uses that experience and knowledge to aggressively represent those that have been injured by the negligence of railroad companies.
