Since 1987, Blalock & Blalock, P.C. has focused a large part of its practice toward representing injured railroad employees. Since the firm's inception, it has worked long and hard to become proficient in Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA), which is the unique law that governs railroad workers' on-the-job injuries. In 2007, the President of the union for railroad engineers and conductors (SMART) made Mike one of their thirty-three (33) nationally Designated Attorneys to handle their members' personal injury claims.
