JOHN PETERSON

Background

John was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He began his railroad career in 1963 as a Locomotive Fireman with Missouri Pacific Railroad. He was subsequently promoted to Engineer and after the Union Pacific/Missouri Pacific merger he finished his 36 year railroad career with Union Pacific.

John was a third generation railroader. His father was Local Chairman of the BLF&E for 18 years. Following his father’s footsteps, as a union officer, John served two terms as President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Division 182, prior to his occupational disability in 2000. During his railroad career John participated in International Conventions as well as Regional Conventions and served on several committees. He is a member of the National Association of Railroad Safety Consultants and Investigators and routinely attends annual conferences.

John works out of our North Little Rock/Sherwood office. He has devoted the past 6 years to assisting injured railroaders with their FELA claims. His duties, as an Investigator for the firm, include: interviewing prospective clients; reviewing and evaluating reports, files and records; assisting clients in their dealings with railroad officials, the Railroad Retirement Board, UPREHS, UHC, UNUM/Provident, insurance companies, healthcare providers and any other entities where clients require assistance. John was instrumental in informational seminars for several rail labor unions. The Handout has proven to be a valuable tool to inform and educate railroad employees, and their spouses, of the employee’s obligations and rights should they become injured.

John’s railroad experience as a locomotive engineer and union officer serve him well in assisting the attorneys and clients in developing their respective cases, from initial interview through final adjudication. He has visited and worked in the Railroad Retirement Board Chicago office and enjoys a good relationship with all the assistants to the Labor Member of the Board. Clients find this relationship invaluable.
