I would like to thank Brian Beckcom and his staff for their professionalism and their support. . . I knew when I met Brian that he was more than qualified to handle my father's wrongful death case . . .if I needed his help again I wouldn't hesitate to call.

Just when we thought we would never find someone who would listen to our story, V&B opened their doors to us. For one month, I spoke to 25 lawyers and the answer I received was "your case is a lost case, no one will ever represent you."

Vuk, it has been such a wonderful experience working with you and your staff. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you did to help my family and I survive through the most difficult time of our lives.

Phuong N.
Houston, Texas
I was injured in an auto accident in Houston, and was referred to Vuk by another attorney. I couldn't work as a result of the accident and desperately needed back and knee surgery.. . . Vuk was able to get me a generous settlement within about a year of taking my case.

Steven R.
Deer Park, Texas
After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.

This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.

Train accident in San Francisco leaves 48 injured, four seriously

According to the New York Times, The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a railroad accident that injured dozens of passengers and the conductor in San Francisco, California.

According to an investigator with the NTSB, the train operator switched the controls from automatic to manual in a tunnel, but did not engage the emergency brake. If the operator had left the autopilot on, the train would have slowed down before it arrived in the station. In the railroad accident, the train slammed into a parked train while going 23 miles per hour.

None of the injuries were life threatening, although 48 people were injured in the crash, four of them seriously. The investigators are also trying to find out if cell phone usage was a factor in the railroad injury accident.

If you or someone you know has suffered a railroad injury on the job, contact railroad worker accident injury lawyer Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
