Our Train Injury Service Area
At Pottroff & Karlin, we serve clients nationwide in train injury claims. We are among the top railroad safety advocates in the nation. We represent those who cannot represent themselves against large, well-funded, aggressive corporate entities.
Whether your train injury occurred in Kansas or any other state in the union, we can help with award-winning, highly skilled legal counsel. As the only law firm in the U.S. that devotes most of its caseload to negligence-based train-related injuries, we have earned a national reputation for effectiveness.
