Introduction

Allred Doerge & Brossart has secured results that few personal injury firms can point to in writing: a $9.8 million verdict for a client who suffered amputation, a $9.25 million wrongful death settlement, a $7.5 million verdict for a marine welder, and a $5 million verdict for a railroad conductor, among others. These are not ranges or projections. They are documented outcomes for real clients who came to the firm after catastrophic injuries turned their lives upside down. The firm represents injured clients across Illinois, Missouri, and nationally, with a particular depth of experience in cases involving railroads, maritime work, trucking, and industrial workplaces.

Allred Doerge & Brossart takes cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless the firm recovers on their behalf. Free case consultations are available for anyone evaluating whether to pursue a claim. The firm handles everything from straightforward car accident claims to the most technically demanding Jones Act maritime cases, spanning the full spectrum of personal injury law.

Practice Areas

Railroad Injuries (FELA): The Federal Employers Liability Act provides railroad workers with a legal avenue to pursue compensation after on-the-job injuries. Allred Doerge & Brossart has extensive experience handling FELA claims and understands the regulatory and factual complexities specific to the railroad industry. Notable results in this area include a $5 million verdict for a conductor and a $4.3 million judgment for a client who suffered PTSD.

Maritime Cases (Jones Act): Maritime workers face unique hazards, and the legal framework governing their rights differs significantly from standard workers’ compensation. The firm brings deep familiarity with Jones Act cases, including the $7.5 million verdict secured for a marine welder.

Trucking Accidents: Large truck crashes create some of the most severe injuries seen in personal injury law, and building a successful case requires understanding both the regulatory environment governing commercial carriers and the specific failure that caused each collision. The firm investigates driver negligence, equipment failure, and carrier conduct.

Underride Truck Accidents: These collisions occur when a smaller vehicle slides under the rear or sides of a large truck. Because the truck’s frame sits higher than the passenger compartment of a car, the top of the vehicle is often crushed upon impact, frequently resulting in fatal or catastrophically disabling injuries. The firm investigates the specific causes of underride crashes, including driver negligence such as backing into vehicles, making inappropriate turns, or cutting off motorists, as well as equipment failures that may have contributed.

Workplace Injuries: Allred Doerge & Brossart handles a broad range of workplace injury cases, including the $6 million settlement secured for a boilermaker. Industrial and construction environments create injury risks that require specialized factual and legal analysis.

Car Accidents: Alongside the firm’s complex industrial cases, the attorneys also handle standard car accident claims, ensuring that clients injured in everyday collisions receive the same careful representation.

Wrongful Death: The firm has secured multiple nine-figure settlements in wrongful death cases, including a $9.25 million settlement and a $9 million settlement. These cases are handled with the understanding that behind every case number is a family that has lost someone irreplaceable.

Client Focus

The firm’s practice is built entirely around plaintiffs. Allred Doerge & Brossart never represents companies or insurers in personal injury matters, which means the firm’s interests are fully aligned with those of injured individuals and their families. Contingency fee representation eliminates financial barriers for clients who are already dealing with the economic consequences of serious injury: lost wages, medical bills, and uncertainty about the future.

The firm’s documented record spans injury types and industries. Clients injured in car accidents, railroad workers hurt on the job, maritime workers, boilermakers, conductors, and victims of underride truck crashes have all received outcomes that reflect serious preparation and experienced advocacy. The breadth of results suggests a firm that does not limit itself to one type of case but instead builds genuine expertise across the categories it handles.

Closing

Industrial injuries, railroad accidents, maritime casualties, and catastrophic truck crashes share something in common: they tend to be severe, legally complex, and fiercely contested by well-funded defendants.
