BY PRACTICE AREA
FIGHTING FOR INJURED
RAILROAD WORKERS

Ben B. Saunders, named again to this year’s Louisiana Super Lawyers list, thought he wanted to be a doctor. While waiting for an opening in medical school, he enrolled in law school and soon realized how powerful his knowledge of biology could be in helping personal injury victims. His first big case out of law school involved a head injury to a railroad worker. Saunders was instantly drawn to the complexities of the century-old FELA law covering injured railroaders.

“Just as doctors treat patients, our firm treats people, not corporations,” Saunders says. “We fight for clients to the end, through thick and thin, from the bitter to the sweet.”

DECADES OF EXPERTISE Today,
Saunders is a national leader in
representing railroad workers who are
hurt on the job. He served as Designated
Legal Counsel for the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen,
and was its former Chairman. He also is
designated as a Smart-UTU DLC.

Saunders is assisted by team members Joseph Miller and Carisa Oden, both of whom have winning track records in federal court. Together, the firm’s attorneys have obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for railroad workers throughout the Southeast, in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Texas. Ben Saunders also serves on the Loyola Law Alumni Board.
