Rome, Arata & Baxley is a law firm dedicated to the representation of injured railroad workers and other individuals. The firm has a combined sixty (60) years of experience handling FELA cases. We are loyal to the individuals and families we represent and do not represent insurance companies or large corporations. The firm has offices in Houston, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana.

Our firm knows the importance of starting to develop your claim as soon as possible. The railroad starts its defense as soon as an employee is injured and uses various tactics in an effort to deny or reduce its obligation to pay even the most legitimate claims. Our experience has shown that the railroad, its claim agents, investigators and lawyers fight hard to prove that the railroad has no responsibility in nearly every case. We expect this battle and prepare to win the war in each and every case using our experienced team of lawyers, railroad investigators and paralegals.

We engage a team approach on all cases so that someone is always available to respond to a client's needs. We also prepare each case for trial, developing each and every theory of recovery to maximize each claim. We do this because the largest claims are won when a case is fully prepared to go to trial. Only then, will the railroad feel the most pressure to pay full and fair compensation for the injury.

Our firm has successfully handled cases against Amtrak, CSX, Kansas City Southern, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, Canadian National/Illinois Central, New Orleans Public Belt and Watco among others. All of the railroads know that the name "Rome, Arata and Baxley" means that the injured worker is represented by the best in the business. We also handle claims against third party defendants, such as trucking companies or industries when they cause an injury.
