Railroad accident cases can cost a half million dollars or more to litigate.
Don't risk losing everything because you decided not to
partner with a team of experienced railroad accident lawyers.

Now is the time to consider partnering with a team of experienced railroad accident lawyers. Our approach to partnerships is collaborative and transparent. We set up a separate set of accounting records for each case, managed by a case-specific accounting group. Our partnering firms have total access to records pertaining to our joint case, and we regularly issue detailed financial reports and updates.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts
and settlements obtained for our clients.

Our Railroad Accident Team delivers:

  • Access to an extensive database of internal railroad-specific documents, as well as dozens of railroad employee depositions on file that will add immediate value to your client's case.
  • Familiarity with data analysis of the Umler "black box" event recorder with the information on the train's "consist"—the make-up and sequence of railroad cars including loads, weights and other details.
  • Proven methods to defeat railroad-specific Federal Preemption so that all key causes of action can go forward to the jury. Railroad companies have mastered various avenues of backdoor tort reform using preemption as a shield to defeat claims.
  • An understanding of railroad company operations. We know the Operations Rule Book and Union Pacific Maintenance of Way Book inside and out. Written by the railroads, the manuals are the guide for the daily operations, procedures and conduct.
  • Successful techniques to develop evidence of other similar railroad incidents (OSI's)—a daunting task, but critical to success.

We take this knowledge and experience from prior cases, and apply it to your client's case.

A Partnership, Not a Hand-off
