About Us
At the Barnes Law Firm, LLC, our approach to the law is somewhat different than
many other firms. We realize that you have put your complete trust in us and in
return, we place all our efforts in working hard for you. Where other firms might
take a quick and easy settlement that leaves you less than fully compensated, we
know that you deserve more. Where some may see your matter as just another case,
we recognize that your injury or claim is likely affecting your entire way of life.
This is why we work and prepare every case as if we were representing members of
our own families.
We always put your interests first and we strive to provide aggressive, ethical
representation. Often times, cases we handle settle early, but we prepare every
case as if it were going to trial. In the end, it is always your case and any decision
to settle is yours. Our sole mission is to get you the maximum recovery available
in your case.
We have litigated cases throughout the country and we specialize in the following
areas:
FELA:
The Barnes Law Firm is proud to serve as Designated Legal Counsel for the United Transportation Union and the American Train Dispatchers Association representing railroad workers under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). The Federal Employers' Liability Act was passed in 1908 to protect railroad workers against employer negligence and exploitation. Additionally, the FELA was enacted to ensure that railroad workers injured on the job are able to receive appropriate compensation for their injuries. In order to recover damages under the FELA, railroad workers must be able to prove that their injuries were a direct result of their employers' negligence.
