You don’t have worker’s comp. Rail workers are covered by a unique law, the Federal Employers' Liability Act. The only way you get compensated by your carrier is by proving your claim.
Railroad is our world. We don’t write wills or do DWIs. We know what it means to work on a live rail and how careers can end because of carrier negligence.
We’re not litigators. We’re trial attorneys. We take verdicts and we win because we work harder, worry more and have confidence in juries.
We have more FRSA whistleblower verdicts than any attorney in the country. Every one has included punitive damages for the railroad worker.
Passengers injured in accidents and the families of those who die have no inside knowledge of how the railroad operates. We’re on the inside everyday and we can help them.
Trains crash and people die. But it could be prevented. We are a voice for change in the industry both for workers and passengers, pushing carriers to count safety before dollars.
