     We are providing you with this limited list of settlements and verdicts that we have obtained in the past several years which are fairly representative of our track record. Please understand there is no breach of confidentiality in providing this list since all the verdicts listed are a matter of public record and you will note that we have not divulged the identity of any client who has received a settlement rather than an actual verdict.

     Within the past few years, railroads have begun to require confidentiality agreements in settlements to prevent other employees from learning the amount of a particular settlement. As a result, there are numerous settlements that cannot be listed by name.
