Nelson Wolff specializes in helping railroad and maritime workers recover from the often-grim injuries they suffer on the job.
Wolff obtained a $20 million judgment for a railroad worker who was paralyzed from an on-job accident and was the lead trial lawyer in the first (and ultimately successful) 401k excessive fee class action trial, Tibble v. Edison. Last year, he won a $12 million verdict for a switchman whose legs were crushed and an $8.3 million settlement for a conductor who lost part of his leg.
Wolff is also involved in a long-running case in Missouri federal court alleging hundreds of children have suffered brain damage from industrial smelting operations in Peru.
