What Is a Train & Rail Accident Claim?
A train & rail accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving a train, tram, underground, or other rail service. These accidents can happen due to collisions, derailments, platform accidents, faulty doors, slips, trips, or inadequate safety procedures.
Rail accidents can cause a wide range of injuries — from minor whiplash and fractures to life-changing injuries such as spinal damage, brain trauma, or amputations. They can also cause severe psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If you or your family have been affected within the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and secure the treatment, rehabilitation, and financial support you need.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
