After an injury, many of our clients want to know how they're going to make it. It's a very scary situation to be in: to be stuck at home hurt and wondering how they're going to make it day to day, how they're going to pay the bills. It's especially hard for railroad workers. Almost all of them love their jobs and are the sole breadwinners for their family.
FELA railroad lawsuits are filed on behalf of injured railroad workers who have been hurt on the job. They allow railroad workers to file a claim against their employer in order to get compensated for past and future lost wages, pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, past and future benefits, and loss of enjoyment of life.
If you or a loved one suffered a spine injury, it is important to seek the proper medical treatment immediately. Many times, when an engineer is in a train wreck, he/she may suffer a spine or disc injury and not be aware of it. The same is true for people in auto accidents. The spine, spinal cord, and nerves are a complicated system.
Have you hit your head so hard that you felt dizzy or lost consciousness? Are you having trouble remembering things or recalling events after an accident? Then you may be suffering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
With the new research that is being discovered for CTE, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, from NFL football players, we are beginning to learn a lot more about head trauma and the aftereffects on individuals.In fact, an individual can suffer a traumatic brain injury without his/her skull actually making contact with another object.

While railroading is safer today than it was when FELA was enacted in 1908, the number of serious accidents and injuries is still higher for railroad workers than for many other industries. This is due in part to the tremendous equipment that railroaders work with and around constantly in their jobs - rail cars, locomotives, cranes, and hi-rail equipment can all cause serious injuries including amputations.

We were referred to Poolson Oden by a family member and in a time of uncertainty, this firm treated us like family throughout our entire case. Danny Poolson and his team went above and beyond to make sure that all of our questions were answered and walked us through the entire process. We were extremely satisfied with our settlement and would recommend Poolson Oden should you find yourself needing representation!

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.

I have been a practicing attorney for the past 35 years. In that time, I have worked with and against hundreds of attorneys, only a handful of whom of the dedication and litigation expertise of Danny Poolson. I have retained Danny twice in the past eight years for legal representation. Most recently, Danny represented me in obtaining a settlement for personal injuries received from a rear-end collision. Danny reviewed the facts of my case thoroughly and prepared an excellent settlement demand letter, which resulted in the insurance company paying me policy limits for my injuries. Danny has experience

From the beginning, Danny Poolson took the time to discuss my case in detail before considering to represent me. Through the entire process, he was communicative and quick to respond to any questions that I had. It was refreshing to work with someone who was as detailed oriented and efficient as Danny. During the process, there were many hurdles that Danny and I went through. He always remained focused on the long term outcome. Unlike some others that I spoke with who were only interested in a quick payout, Danny was relentless in his efforts to get us the best outcome for our situation. I am very

Thanks for your time.. It was a blast as well as professional.

Danny Poolson and his team exceeded my expectations. They made every step of my case not only easy but extremely informative and caring through the entire process. Danny's drive to get me the proper medical help and handle all the outside "noise" was second to none! Their professionalism and a responsiveness are what made the process so seamless. Thank you Poolson Oden!
