United States, 22nd Dec 2025 – Oberheiden Law Group, a litigation law firm headquartered in Texas and representing clients in select cases nationwide, is now representing victims and families in lawsuits involving railroad accidents. According to founding attorney Nick Oberheiden, PhD, this includes representing railroad workers, railroad passengers, vehicle occupants, pedestrians, cyclists, and families that have lost loved ones in fatal railroad disasters.
“We are pleased to be expanding our litigation practice to include railroad accident cases,” says Dr. Oberheiden. “Railroad accidents frequently have devastating consequences, and we look forward to using our resources and capabilities to help victims and families in their times of need.”
Dr. Oberheiden says that the firm’s railroad accident practice will be led by attorney James Bell. Mr. Bell is a well-known and widely respected plaintiffs’ lawyer who is responsible for securing the ninth largest verdict in United States history. He has also secured several multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts in a wide range of cases; and, at Oberheiden Law Group, he leads a team of talented lawyers who are committed to relentlessly pursuing justice for the firm’s clients.
“James Bell is a true asset to our firm; and, as the leader of our railroad accident practice, I am confident that he will add many successful cases to his extensive resume.” Dr. Oberheiden continues, “Victims and family members who choose our firm to represent them can feel confident knowing that he is in their corner.”
With that said, Dr. Oberheiden is quick to point out that there are no guarantees, and the circumstances of each individual case will dictate the amount of financial compensation that the firm can seek on behalf of its clients.
While railroad accidents are relatively rare, they happen more often than many people realize. According to data from the Federal Railroad Administration, there are hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries in railroad accidents in the United States each year. This includes accidents involving derailments and collisions at railroad crossings, among others.
“In comparison to vehicle-on-vehicle collisions and most other types of accidents, railroad accidents don’t happen that often,” says Dr. Oberheiden. “But, when these accidents happen, they almost always result in life-altering or life-threatening injuries. By expanding our practice to include railroad accident cases, we are hoping to help victims and families secure the financial resources they will need to cope with the effects of their (or their loved ones’) accidents for the rest of their lives.”
Dr. Oberheiden says that accountability is a major driving factor in these cases as well. “While many victims and families need financial compensation, what they want is accountability. They want to know that railroads and other companies that put profits before safety will face the consequences of their actions so that they don’t make the same mistake again.”
Recognizing that financial considerations are often top of mind for railroad accident victims and their families, Dr. Oberheiden emphasizes that the firm will not be charging its clients any out-of-pocket fees or costs in these cases:
“Oberheiden Law Group will be representing all railroad accident victims and families who have tragically lost loved ones in railroad accidents on a contingency-fee basis. This means that our firm will be covering the costs associated with investigating and pursuing our clients’ claims, and we will only recoup these costs (and earn a fee) when our clients’ claims are successful. Otherwise, our clients will owe nothing.”
With the firm’s railroad accident practice officially launched, Dr. Oberheiden says he looks forward to the first time he is able to tell one of the firm’s clients that their railroad accident case has been successful. “We know that railroad accidents can change victims’ and families’ lives for the worse. We look forward to helping change our clients’ lives for the better.”
Oberheiden P.C. is a Texas-based law firm with a national presence. The firm is accepting railroad accident cases in Texas and select jurisdictions across the country where the firm’s lawyers are admitted to practice. Victims and family members who have questions about their legal rights can contact the firm 24/7 for a free and confidential phone consultation.
