Dear Mr. Beckcom:

I never got a chance to say thank you for the wonderful job you did on my daughter's case. My daughter will be graduating in June from High School with cum laude status. She will be attending college at U.T. Austin and majoring in Communications. Thanks to your efforts her college education has been taken care of. Thank you again from both of us.

Words cannot express the thanks and gratefulness that we have for Vuk and his company. His tireless efforts and aggressive style meant the world to us and he changed our lives forever. I will always be loyal and grateful to V&B for taking on my case and being committed from the beginning until the end. I highly recommend these guys with 100% assuredness that they will work hard for you and help you receive what you deserve.

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.

Repetitive motion disorders can permanently sideline a railway worker

There is no denying it: railroad work is hard work, some of the hardest in the country. Physically demanding tasks combined with long hours can leave workers worn out, and jobs that require the same type of physical motion day in and day out can lead to serious injury. Some rail workers find that after years – even decades – of faithful work on a railroad they are left injured because of repetitive motion tasks.

What causes Repetitive Motion Disorders?

Repetitive motion disorders (also known as RMDs) are caused by too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion. They can also be caused by unnatural or awkward motions such as the unnatural twisting of an arm or wrist to perform a task. Workers forced to sit or stand for extended periods in an unusual position can also experience RMDs.

Rail workers whose jobs involve performing the same task over and over without adequate break or without consideration to ergonomics are at a risk of developing an RMD.

Different kinds of Repetitive Motion Disorders

There are a number of different types of disorders that can be caused by repetitive motion. RMDs include but are not limited to:

Carpal tunnel syndrome
Bursitis
Tendonitis
Epicondylitis
Ganglion cysts
Tenosynovitis
Trigger finger

The parts of the body most commonly affected by RMDs include hands, wrists, elbow, and shoulders. However, it is not uncommon for other areas of the body like the neck, back, hips, knees, feet, legs, or ankles to be affected by an RMD.

Signs of a Repetitive Motion Disorder

There are several warning signs that you could be developing an RMD:

Pain or tingling in a joint or limb
Numbness
Visible swelling or redness of a joint area or limb
Difficulty flexing a joint
Loss of strength

It is important for you and your employer to take signs of RMD damage seriously. If caught early you can recover from a RMD completely as long as you change how your task is performed, the frequency with which you perform it, and the amount of rest you get between movements. Without treatment a repetitive motion disorder can lead to temporary or permanent damage to your muscles, nerves, ligaments, or tendons. You could even be left with compressed nerves or tissues and unable to work at all.

Concerned that you are suffering from a debilitating repetitive motion disorder? Please don’t hesitate to talk to an experienced FELA attorney about your situation.
