Jones & Granger has been representing railway employees for over 50 years in matters pertaining to on the job injuries, asbestos-related disease, and injuries due to exposure to toxic chemicals, and many other railroad-related issues.

The railroad trade labor unions have appointed certain attorneys to act as their "designated counsel". Union appointed attorneys serve the unions in a variety of advisory roles.
Jones & Granger is pleased to serve in this capacity for the following unions:

IAMAW Designated Counsel
BRS Designated Counsel
BMWE Designated Counsel NCFO Designated Counsel
BLE Designated Counsel  
IBB Designated Counsel
SMW Designated Counsel



As designated counsel, Jones & Granger specializes in the representation of railroad employees for injuries suffered on the job. Railroad workers, like no other workers in the country, fall under a federa law commonly known as the "Federal Employers Liability Act" or FELA. It is important to understand that this is a highly specialized law that requires experienced FELA attorneys. Railroad accident attorneys, or FELA lawyers, must completely understand this law to represent the railroad employee in regards to their FELA injury.

Our home office is located at 10000 Memorial Drive in Houston, Texas, with a satellite office in Little Rock, Arkansas. Our team of attorneys, field representatives, investigators, legal assistants and other essential support personnel provide the injured railroad worker the finest representation available. The following represents a list of all attorneys and investigators employed by

As stated before, Railroad injury claims are extremely complicated and, in most cases, should not be handled by the injured railroad employee. The railroad claim departments are staffed with highly trained railroad lawyers and railroad claim agents, whose sole purpose is to reduce, or to completely eliminate any potential claims that an injured employee may have. These individuals are very well versed in the handling of these FELA accidents and injuries. Regardless of the extent of your injuries that you may have incurred as a result of your railroad accident, please feel free to contact us for any help or advice that you might need.
