Germer’s railroad section provides decades of focused experience in the representation of national rail carriers. Our practice is built on a deep understanding of the unique legal and operational landscape of the rail industry, where specialized statutes and federal oversight require a distinct defensive approach. We serve as a primary resource for railroad clients, offering trial-ready advocacy and administrative guidance that accounts for the industry’s specific jurisdictional and venue complexities.
The firm possesses extensive experience defending the diverse claims unique to rail operations, including crossing accidents and occupational exposure suits. We provide a disciplined defense against claims brought under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA), as well as matters involving right-of-way disputes, real estate challenges, and complex toxic tort litigation. Our attorneys are equally adept at managing the commercial aspects of the industry, from contract disputes and employment matters to navigating large-scale administrative investigations.
Beyond the courtroom, Germer provides essential pre-litigation support and strategic advisory services. We assist clients in the immediate aftermath of accidents, providing post-incident representation and counsel to ensure procedural compliance. Our team also advises on regulatory and statutory requirements, assists in the drafting and review of complex contracts, and manages ongoing property matters. By combining a mastery of federal rail statutes with a commitment to operational stability, we provide the specialized infrastructure necessary to defend the interests of the transportation sector.
