A: Anyone can sue for anything, but assumiong it's your standard humpbacked RR crossing, you know you have to take that very slowly. That being said, why not get a free consult from a member of the La. Trial Lawyers Assn---they give free ones.And see if your medical payment on your car insurance applies--up here in a similar situation, even if you couldn't sue the RR the injury was related to your using the vehicle so it would be a covered medical--dental too!
