Cahill & Perry, P.C.

Protecting Injured Railroad Workers, Passengers And Families


We represent people and families against railroad management throughout the region, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.

At the law firm of Cahill & Perry, P.C., we represent people and the families of people who have been injured by railroads. In doing so, we draw on four decades of experience, not just in personal injury law generally, but in railroad injury law specifically. For that reason, whether you or your loved one was injured while working or while riding, we can help level the playing field between the railroad and you.

Putting You And Your Family First

We do that, first and foremost, by working closely with you, our client. Railroad injury cases often hinge on detailed facts. We gain those facts because we spend the time necessary with you to listen to you tell us your story.
We represent people and families against railroad management throughout the region, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey. Over the years, we have collected fair and just compensation for thousands of people involved in railroad accidents and personal injuries stemming from unsafe working conditions.

Time Is Of The Essence

Depending on where an accident happened, there can be very short deadlines for protecting your legal rights.

The earlier you get an attorney involved, the more an attorney can do to protect your legal rights.

Also, there can be very short deadlines with certain types of legal claims.

(THE SOL does not change based on where the accident happened)

Therefore, if you have been injured in a railroad accident as an employee or as a passenger, please call 800-654-7245 or contact us by e-mail to arrange a free confidential consultation with our firm.
