Not only do railroaders face the danger of significant physical injuries as part of their jobs, but there is also the risk of severe psychological injuries and trauma. This occurs when railroaders endure near-death experiences or emotional trauma witnessing the death of co-workers or others. Railroaders often experience both – they have been physically and emotionally injured in an accident.

Poolson Oden had had the opportunity to represent engineers and conductors who were involved in grade-crossing accidents where the train had hit cars, trucks, or even pedestrians walking on the tracks. Engineers and Conductors are forced to watch someone be seriously injured or killed as a result of the collision. Railroaders also can be hurt in these collisions or fear for their own lives, wondering if the train is going to derail or catch on fire. Conductors are also forced to investigate the scene of these horrific accidents to determine if individuals are dead or alive, with little or no training on what to do. Under these circumstances, post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] can develop and be debilitating. It is important to speak with an experienced FELA attorney familiar with these types of psychological injuries. It is important to address with your doctors the anxiety, depression, fear, or alienation you are experiencing and determine the best treatment to help you recover. We want to help you assemble the best team of medical experts to hold the railroad or others responsible for these devastating injuries. Please give us a call or send us a live chat message on our website to schedule a meeting with one of our FELA trial attorneys. Our consultations and case reviews are absolutely FREE with no obligation to you or your family.

"My personal experience with Carisa Oden was fantastic. I couldn’t have picked a better attorney to represent me. I had a 2-year battle with an injury and she was always there for me anytime, day or night, and she was always honest with me about everything. She treated myself and my family with the utmost care and respect. I would recommend her anytime.”

"Danny and his team does an outstanding job representing clients. Not only is he a great listener, he personally makes himself available to answer questions and provide reassurance to clients and family members whenever needed. For professional standards, Danny sets the bar very high. Next time I need a lawyer, I want Danny on my team."

Dell Pearce

"I would highly recommend the Poolson Law Firm to anyone in need of a great attorney. Danny is very hard working and always wins cases. He is great and always available when I need him. He has personally come with me to make sure things have gotten signed and taken care of. He always answers my calls and emails in a very timely manner."
