Back in the 1980s the DeParcq, Hunegs, Stone & Koenig founded a practice for clients who were injured while working on railroads. Cortney LeNeave started there as a law clerk. The DeParcq firm is now the Wayzata law firm of Hunegs, LeNeave and Kvas, where LeNeave is practicing in railroad law under the Federal Employers' Liability Act and also prosecuting other personal injury and products liability cases.
Working conditions are unsafe for many railroad workers, LeNeave said. He is representing a worker at the Canadian Pacific Railroad whose task it was to walk along the side of train cars. LeNeave explained that the client was working alone, toward the back of the trian, on a steep embankment along a ditch. The embankment was a "swampy morass, " LeNeave said, and the worker's feet went out from under him and he slid into the ditch.
He sustained a traumatic brain injury and a spinal cord trauma. He is in his early 50s without income coming in. It's a seven-figure case that has been set for trial three times during this pandemic, and to date there have been no meaningful settlement talks, LeNeave said.
