The train wreck
attorneys at Nadrich and Cohen have over 60 years of combined experience
representing personal injury victims. We

accidents, including the recent Metrolink
crash in Chatsworth, involving derailments, collisions, bus vs. train
collisions, and inadequate railroad equipment, to name a few. Our train
wreck lawyers are able to provide our clients with the best preparation and
presentation because we have the resources to successfully handle the complexities
of railroad law.
It is vital for you to hire a law firm such as ours with the ability to bring in experts that can truly determine who was responsible and what actually occurred. Our legal teams will do everything in our power including interviewing all witnesses as quickly as possible, moving to preserve relevant pieces of the records to prove our client's case, obtaining the best doctors for our clients, and making certain that all claims statutes and filings are accomplished.
Our law firm has investigated many railroad crossing cases and knows exactly what to look for to establish responsibility as that of the railroad. Remember, there are over 500 railroads in the United States and thousands of railway crossing incidents that occur yearly. We handle all types of train accidents including derailments, train collisions and single train accidents, and represent railroad employees under federal FELA laws.
Being a railroad employee is a dangerous job. There have been 145 people killed working for the railroads and more than 45,000 injured in 1998 and 2007. Railroads were established before worker’s compensation laws; therefore, federal law applies… namely the Federal Employee’s Liability Act. This act provides injured railroad workers the right to sue railroad employers for monetary recovery and compensation for all damages including injuries, medical bills, future loss of earnings, etc.
In order to succeed under FELA we have to prove that the railroad was negligent. We have experts who specialize in meeting that burden of proof on our client’s behalf. Our law firm and our experts have extensive experience in showing that the serious or catastrophic injury or wrongful death in question was caused by the railroad. In turn we show how the events have drastically changed the lives of the injured, of family members, etc. We obtain the highest possible recovery for our clients and leave no penny left on the table.
