The best thing you can do is NOT put all this on the internet! I have seen the internet screw up a lot of cases! You can bet a paralegal will comb your complete internet history once the railroad gets this to their lawyers. Don't be surprised if private investigator does not show up or has not already shown up under guise of RR employee. To them this is a travesty and an inaderdant accident. They will hire the lawyers best connected to the local judiciary. You will most likely be better off with a lawyer, but before you sign a contract with one to sue, ya might just wait and see what the RR offers. They are sometimes generous to stave a law suit or more bad press. Your emotional responses will be used in court to make you look bad for the court. I have seen it many times. Let the calm head prevail. Document all with photos and video while keeping a journal of contact with all involved during the incident. Write down names, times, dates, and places where the contact occured. I am not a lawyer but worked for many of them as an investigator.
