We provide high-quality legal representation for every client and serve our clients in a variety of legal matters. For each client, we thoroughly investigate all factual and legal issues and chart a course designed to achieve the best possible result.

Railroad workers regularly work in dangerous conditions and can experience serious workplace accidents resulting in injury. While injured workers in most industries file for workers’ compensation benefits, railroad workers file claims through a separate system, known as the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). A successful FELA claim can cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering from the accident. Our capable trial lawyers have assisted many injured railroad workers, and can provide the in-depth counsel you require to pursue maximum benefits and recovery. All of our FELA cases are handled on a contingency basis. You do not pay us unless we secure benefits on your behalf.

Accidents happen to everyone. Many times, accidents occur due to the negligence of another person and through no fault of your own, even when you are being careful and cautious behind the wheel. Injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident, car versus pedestrian collision, slip-and-fall accident, motorcycle accident, bike accident, dog bite, or accidents occurring while simply helping a neighbor build a deck or shingle a roof can significantly impact your ability to earn wages, maintain your household and engage in social activities. These injuries can strain professional, familial, and social relationships. Unfortunately, the obligations of your personal and professional lives do not patiently wait for you to recover from your injuries.

The workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect workers and their dependents against the hardships arising from work injuries or work-related death. While the statutory law is complex, put simply, if you are an employee who has suffered an injury and/or death as a result of a work-related accident, you are likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Every employer is required to purchase workers’ compensation insurance or self-fund a workers’ compensation benefits program to fund the workers’ compensation claims of its employees. It is not uncommon, however, for a workers’ compensation insurer to dispute a worker’s claim and deny workers’ compensation benefits.
