Train & Railroad Accidents
Pittsburgh Train and Railroad Accident Attorney.
37 Years of Personal Injury Legal Experience in Pennsylvania.
If you have been injured in a railroad accident, either as an employee, as a driver at a railroad crossing or as a pedestrian, you likely have the right to pursue an injury claim for negligence. But who can help you navigate complex liability laws or, in the case of railroad employees, the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), which governs railroad worker injuries? And who can investigate the accident scene, negotiate with insurers and pursue the full amount of financial compensation you deserve?
At the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, personal injury law firm of Howard F. Messer, P.C., we have fought for the rights of railroad and train accident victims since 1971.
Railroad accident cases can be pursued through a variety of methods and procedures, including negotiation, litigation, mediation and arbitration. Firm lawyer and founder Howard Messer is thoroughly skilled in all facets of personal injury law. In addition to negotiating successfully with thousands of insurance companies and other parties, Mr. Messer:
- Has obtained numerous verdicts and settlements of over $1 million
- Serves on the Arbitration Panel for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania
- Has served as a Special Mediation Counsel for the Court
If you or a loved one has been injured in a train-related accident, we can help. We have handled numerous train and rail accident cases, including multiple wrongful death accidents. In one case, poorly secured freight came loose and struck two boys who were walking along the tracks. Tragically, both boys were killed. We investigated the case and settled the case for a sizeable sum against the negligent railroad.
