Railroad Litigation

Through its representation of national, shortline, and commuter railroads, the Firm has gained the reputation of being one of the most respected and experienced railroad litigation firms in the country. We have defended railroads in state and federal courts in jurisdictions all across the country in hundreds of cases involving the Federal Employers' Liability Act, passenger personal injuries, derailments, serious crossing accidents, and trespasser claims.

In addition to defending railroads in lawsuits brought pursuant to the Federal Employers' Liability Act for injuries related to traumatic accidents, our Firm defends its clients and acts as national counsel in cases alleging occupational exposures to asbestos, silica, diesel exhaust, noise, mold, second-hand smoke, and other toxic substances, as well as cumulative trauma.

We also defend our railroad clients in employment discrimination cases, commercial litigation, contract and indemnity disputes, civil rights, and constitutional claims, including those alleging violations of First and Fourth Amendment rights.
