FELA Claims - BLET Designated Legal Counsel
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act was passed by Congress in 1908, for the purpose of providing compensation to railroad employees who are injured on the job. It enables injured employees to bring claims directly against their employers where it can be shown that it was the railroad's negligence that caused the injury. more

Auto & Truck Accidents
Medical expenses, loss of earnings, damages, rewards for disfigurement and impairment can be recovered if you have been hurt in an accident.

Industrial Accidents
There are countless ways that accidents can occur in industries that involve heavy equipment and machinery. Third and fourth party accidents involving insurance companies can be complex and expensive. It is imperative that you find a law firm that knows how to combat these firms and their legal walls. Defective equipment, exposure at the workplace and slips & falls are a few of the hazards that workers and sometimes non-workplace related victims encounter.

Wrongful Death
Loosing a loved one can be a very troublesome time in a family's life. Blame, fault and accountability are a few words that are synonymous with a wrongful death. At McKinney & McKinney, we care about our clients. If you have a loved one that has recently passed away due to the negligence of another party, we'd like to hear from you.

Business Litigation
M & M have the experience to handle complex business litigation. Real estate acquisitions, commercial transactions, class actions, business torts . . .

Toxic Exposure
Chemical engineers, railroad workers and oil refinery workers are examples of clients that
M & M have represented in the past. Individuals exposed to non-visible toxins can sometimes go years without symptoms of exposure. In toxic exposure law suits, it is very important that a law firm has top leading experts.

Oil Rig & Oil Field Injury
Let's face it, oil rig and oil field workers have a tuff and dangerous job. If you or a loved one have had an accident and need legal presentation, you need a firm that has experience battling tough oil company law firms. We have handled cases involving many types of injuries including neck injuries, back injuries, amputations, para/quadriplegia and more.

Construction Accidents
In the US, a construction worker is injured or killed on a daily basis. Much of the time, access to these construction areas is limited or has changed by the time litigation is in full swing. With this in mind, you need a firm that has the ability to reconstruct these accidents and possibly show to a jury, exactly what happened.

Product Liability
There are so many products available to consumers today.

The FELA and personal injury lawyers at the McKinney & McKinney are knowledgeable, dedicated, and aggressive. Serving clients nationwide, our lawyers provide
legal representation that meets the highest standards of quality to victims.
