Representing Railroad Accident Victims
Railroad accidents account for a large number of injuries and deaths each year. Railway workers, train passengers and bystanders are all vulnerable to serious, and sometimes fatal, injuries caused by railway company negligence.
At Bretzmann & Aldridge, L.L.P., we are committed to helping injured railroad employees, passengers and bystanders hold negligent railway companies accountable for their actions. We work hard to obtain the compensation our clients deserve for their injuries. With 60 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys proudly represent individuals in the Piedmont Triad region.
Railway Workers Injured in Railroad Accidents
Railroad employees are protected by the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), a federal law that allows workers to sue their employers for workplace injuries. At Bretzmann & Aldridge, L.L.P., we have extensive experience representing injured railroad workers in FELA cases involving:
- Improper supervision
- Poor working conditions
- Hazardous equipment
- Machinery failure
- Inadequate safety measures
- Derailment
- Toxic chemical exposure
We represent all railway employees, including railroad engineers, train yardmasters, brake operators, switch operators, signal operators, subway conductors and light rail drivers. Whether you or a loved one suffered an occupational illness, a brain or spinal cord injury or a wrongful death, we can help.
We will thoroughly examine the circumstances surrounding your injury and work to determine liability. Many times, railway companies are negligent in ways that employees do not even recognize. Trust our experience and skill to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Passengers and Bystanders Injured by Railway Negligence

- Faulty railroad crossings

- Train collisions
- Fires
Because these cases can be difficult and frustrating, it is important that you hire a proven attorney with experience in this area of the law. Count on us to work hard for you.
