Profile
Dedicated Railroad Injury and FELA Representation
Petro Law Firm, also known in the legal community for its association with Petro and Harrington, LLC, is a specialized law practice located at 1 N LaSalle Street in Chicago, Illinois. Since its inception in 1985, the firm has dedicated itself to protecting the rights of injured railroad workers and their families under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). Unlike standard workers’ compensation claims, FELA cases require proving negligence on the part of the railroad employer, a complex task that demands specific legal expertise and deep industry knowledge.
Areas of Practice
The firm’s primary focus is on representing railway employees who have suffered on-the-job injuries. Their comprehensive legal services include:
- FELA Claims: Expert handling of federal claims for railroad workers injured due to unsafe working conditions, defective equipment, or employer negligence.
- Traumatic Injuries: Representation for catastrophic injuries such as brain trauma, spinal cord damage, and amputations resulting from rail yard accidents.
- Occupational Illnesses: Legal support for workers suffering from long-term exposure to toxic substances like diesel fumes, asbestos, and silica.
- Personal Injury: Beyond railroad cases, the firm also handles general personal injury matters, ensuring justice for victims of negligence in various contexts.
