The Van Dyck Law Firm, PLLC, focuses primarily on appellate law, railroad accidents, personal injury, wrongful death and complex motion practice. We are not a large, impersonal law firm that will shuffle your case between a long list of lawyers, paralegals and secretaries. At our firm, you will work with the same lawyer from beginning to end. As experts are brought in to collaborate on a case, they become part of the overall team, but your primary point of contact will remain the same. We are devoted to maintaining quality in the work and personal service provided to each and every client.
Train Accidents
We are determined to hold railroad companies accountable for the negligence that results in catastrophic accidents between a train and a pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, automobile, pickup truck, van, commercial vehicle or any other vehicle.
Railroad accidents are not like other personal injury and wrongful death cases. Railroad companies habitually have their own investigators and adjusters on the scene before either the police or emergency rescue vehicles arrive. They will attempt to control, and possibly even tamper with, evidence as they provide the police with their own version of events. Establishing hard evidence about the events surrounding the accident often requires a thorough investigation into the details of events leading up to the accident, as well as the railroad's own maintenance records and policies.
Presenting a solid argument in a court of law also involves extensive research into federal transportation laws. As a law firm providing specialized appellate services focused specifically on the federal laws governing railroads, we have developed a unique and valuable skill set.
Appellate Law
We excel at collaborating with fellow attorneys and other professionals on particularly complicated and detailed legal issues, such as researching federal regulations, writing effective legal memoranda and defending our work in a court of law. The Van Dyck Law Firm has a solid reputation in all aspects of appellate law, including complex motions, civil appeals and defeating federal preemption, based on railroad regulation.
