In response to railroads hiring skilled claim agents and attorneys to protect their interests, SMART Transportation Division has chosen experienced and successful trial lawyers as its Designated Legal Counsel (DLC) and recommends these lawyers to its members and their families when injured or killed on the job.These lawyers are specialists in handling FELA claims and are fully experienced in dealing with trained railroad claim agents and railroad lawyers. Members should seek their counsel and advice at the earliest opportunity if they feel they have a potential FELA case against a railroad. Always remember that the railroad claim agent is just that — an agent for the railroad. A SMART TD Designated Legal Counsel is YOUR agent, and their job is to represent the member. They are on your side.And remember, a non-designated lawyer does not have any obligation to your union and is not answerable to SMART Transportation Division.

Since the mid-1800s, SMART members and those in their predecessor unions have successfully fought for new advances such as rail safety, the eight-hour workday, an end to child labor, job site safety and health, retirement security, greater access to affordable health care, occupational training, and the advancement of the working men and women we represent.
Over the years our priorities have changed, as societal change offers new opportunities and challenges.
