This week, Coplan + Crane partner Ben Crane presented on Railroad Law at the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association's Update & Review Seminar in Chicago, joining a lineup of Illinois trial lawyers and the Presiding Judge of the Cook County Circuit Court’s Law Division Tom Lyons.

Ben has dedicated much of his practice to representing union railroad workers in FELA litigation against carriers, along with railroad crossing and transportation negligence cases throughout Illinois and the Midwest. His session gave fellow plaintiffs’ attorneys a look at the latest in railroad litigation and how to build stronger cases for injured workers and their
families.

Thank you to ITLA for the opportunity to share insights with colleagues
committed to protecting injured consumers and workers.

After a serious medical error, one of the hardest parts can be not knowing what actually happened.

That’s something Ted thinks about a lot in his work.

Yes, these cases are about accountability and helping families move forward. But sometimes they’re also about finally getting answers to questions a family has been carrying for months or even years.

You probably don’t hear the term “blind shove” every day.

It refers to a railroad maneuver where a train is pushed backward without someone in position to properly monitor what’s ahead.

That unsafe practice was at the center of a case our firm handled after a fatal railroad accident. We ultimately secured a $33 million settlement for the family.

When most people hear “train accident,” they picture one thing. In reality, these cases can look very different depending on whether you were a passenger, railroad worker, driver or pedestrian.

And the rules that apply aren’t always the same either.

In 2024, 3,853 pedestrians were involved in crashes in Cook County.

For our team, numbers like this are more than statistics. We work with people and families dealing with the impact of serious crashes, and we see how quickly one moment on the road can change everything.

Safer streets matter, especially in a city where so many of us walk, bike and rely on busy intersections every day.

No family should have to endure the heartbreak of losing a child because of medical negligence. We were honored to stand beside this family through an unimaginable loss and fight for accountability on their behalf.

The case resulted in a $17 million verdict for the wrongful death of their infant, helping bring a measure of justice to a family whose lives were forever changed. 💼⚖️

Medical bills are only one part of what an injury can affect.

Missed work, changes at home, lost time and day-to-day limitations can all be part of the bigger picture. Keeping track of those changes can help you explain what life has actually looked like since the injury.

Every case is different, so we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

We take the time to listen, understand what matters to each client and build a legal strategy around their needs. That personal attention, and care for the details, is a big part of how we work.
