St. Louis, Missouri, Attorney Handling FELA Lawsuits
Railroads are inherently dangerous places to work. Accidents happen frequently, and the injuries that result tend to be very severe. Because railways cross state lines, their employees cannot be covered under any one state's workers' compensation statutes. As a result, railroad workers who suffer injuries on the job must recover compensation under FELA, the Federal Employers Liability Act.
Matthew Dreesen has extensive experience working with FELA litigation. He once worked defending train companies from FELA lawsuits. Later, he moved to a smaller firm where he served as one of the counsel representing members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen. He provides dedicated, personalized and experienced legal representation.

Railroad Companies Need to Improve Safety Conditions
Every accident is preventable. Workers suffer injuries from repeated exposure to dangerous noise levels, inhalation of dangerous particles and chemicals, whole body vibration from rough riding trains, and catastrophic events involving collisions and equipment failure.
Railroad companies are aware of these hazardous conditions, but they continually fail to correct them. As a worker, you have rights. You can hold the railroad company accountable for negligence, encourage safer conditions in the future, and recover the compensation you will need to secure your future and your family's.
Attorney Matthew Dreesen advises clients the way he would like to be advised if he were in their situation. He is straightforward and honest, educating clients about their rights and options so that when they can make informed decisions about the direction of their case. He collects millions of dollars for injured railroad workers under the Federal Employers' Liability Act.
