Railroad Accidents And Derailments Lawyer

Morelli Law Instrumental in Securing $265 Million Settlement in Landmark Amtrak Case

Do You Have a Case? Call (212) 751-9800

Locomotives traverse more than 1.5 million miles of tracks every single day in the United States but not always safely. The Federal Railroad Administration’s own statistics approximate that 38% of all railroad disasters are caused by negligence or avoidable human error. The consequences are often severe injuries, lifelong debilitations, or wrongful deaths.
Morelli law Firm has built a reputation for providing strong legal representation to train accident, railway disaster, and derailment victims. Our law firm
represented victims who were injured in the 2015 Amtrak train crash outside Philadelphia in which over 200 passengers were injured and 8 were killed. Morelli Law Firm was appointed by the federal judge in charge of the entire litigation as one of the lead firms to serve on the Plaintiff’s Management Committee. The firm spearheaded the effort to get a long-standing federal damages cap, which limited the total amount of compensation recoverable for victims in train accidents, raised by $95 million, and played an integral role in settling the total litigation for $265 million, the largest settlement for a passenger railroad accident in U.S. history. The firm played a critical role in both creating and implementing the administration of the settlement. The firm currently represents victims in other railroad accidents such as the 2016 Hoboken, NJ train derailment, and the 2016 Long Island Railroad train derailment.
