  • WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS - Losing a loved one is a tragic event. This emotional time is complicated further when another party unjustly caused the death.

  • FELA/RAILROAD WORKER INJURIES - Railroad work can include dangerous and risky situations; railroad companies are thus responsible for enforcing safety and regulatory rules, maintaining equipment safety, conducting ample training, and generally providing a hazard-free working environment. In the event a railroad worker is injured, they are not covered under no-fault workers' compensation laws like in other industries. They must collect compensation under the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) and prove the railroad company was negligent and caused injury. We represent clients who seek damages for wage loss, permanent injury, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. If you or a family member are interested in filing a claim, please contact our firm for further advice and assistance.
