Attorney John Coyle settled a FELA case for $885,000 for a union railroad worker, John Felder, who suffered serious injuries on the job while loading railroad ties.

Mr. Felder and a coworker were tasked with moving railroad ties onto a flatbed truck without the assistance of any appropriate equipment when the tie slipped out of the coworker’s hand, resulting in a serious injury to our client. McEldrew Purtell is proud to represent members of the railroad community to ensure safety and accountability and to secure the outcome they deserve.
