GE&A successfully represented train operators in railway accident cases in which the State's liability was disputed for service failure in the performance of dangerous activities, achieving exoneration from liability on grounds such as the victim's sole fault.
In these cases, it was possible to demonstrate the timely activation of emergency and safety protocols by the train operator (through the driver and/or his assistant), and highlighting that the applicable regulations give priority to trains to run on the railroad tracks over any other road or vehicular or pedestrian crossing, even more so with regard to level crossings that are not regulated, irregular, or not authorized by the State.
