Dear Curtis,

I would like to express my gratitude for the way you have taken care of this case. Thank you for your advice and encouragement during a time when I was completely bewildered by what needed to be done and how very much needed doing.

You and your staff made a very difficult time much easier for me and I appreciate your work on my behalf.

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.

I know that my attorney is good because he won my case and I would recommend him to others.
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."

I sat on one of your juries early this year. I observed your eloquence and complete passion....you seem to be a man of utmost qualifications.

- Juror on one of Vuk's cases (name withheld)
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.

Do you really need a FELA Railway Injury Attorney?

If you’ve been hurt in a railroad injury, it may be time to hire an attorney. But how do you know if you even need a lawyer for your case? Won’t your case be settled faster without one? Can’t you just get a lawyer later if you don’t like the settlement you’re offered? Won’t the lawyer take most of your settlement money?

These are all myths perpetrated by insurance companies as they try to persuade injured rail workers that they don’t need to hire an attorney. If you’re tempted to believe what they say, hold on a minute: do you really think that the insurance company has YOUR best interest in mind?

Insurance company games

Insurance companies run a business, and that business like any other is to make money. They do this by keeping a lid on the amount they pay out for major injury claims, especially for serious accident cases. If you go up against an insurance company alone, it is very likely that they will use their knowledge and influence to trick you into settling for as little compensation as possible.

The real reason the insurance company wants you to stay away from FELA lawyers is that their own statistics shows that it costs them thousands of dollars more to settle cases brought by an attorney. However, you really only need to consider hiring an attorney if you were involved in a serious rail accident. Minor injury claims are often quickly settled for a reasonable amount directly with the insurance company.

Serious railway injury cases require an experienced attorney

If you were hurt in a serious railway accident, then know this: your employer will likely have an army of lawyers, investigators, and insurance company representatives working tirelessly to make sure the rail company and the insurance company do not lose too much money on your case.

In this situation, we recommend that you talk to an experienced railroad accident attorney as soon as possible. The insurance company and your employer’s lawyers are all looking for ways to sink your case. Don’t give them the chance to take advantage of you – most FELA attorneys will discuss your case for no cost or obligation, so you have nothing to lose by talking to one immediately.

Minor railway accident cases may not need a lawyer

What about minor railroad injury cases? You can easily handle your own minor injury claim. Insurance companies don’t fight too hard on these because they are worth so little to them. You will more than likely do just fine on your own, as any attorney fees would eat up most of your award. In fact, at Vujasinovic & Beckcom we don’t even accept small railroad injury cases because we know that you’ll fare better financially on your own.

If you aren’t sure if your railway accident injury case is serious or minor, please give us a call. We’ll be happy to talk with you for no cost or obligation to see if we can help. You have nothing to lose, and it could make a world of difference in your life. Please contact the Houston based law firm Vujasinovic & Beckcom today.
