Project 1
Ben B. Saunders was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Upon completing his undergraduate studies in Pre-Med at Louisiana State University, he attended Loyola University School of Law where he received his J.D. (Juris Doctor) degree. While at Law School, he authored articles for the Loyola Law Review and ultimately served as Managing Editor for the Publication.
He began his railroad practice in 1974 as a plaintiff's attorney when he tried his first FELA case before a federal jury in the United States District Court of New Orleans. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, a LSU college student, who was seriously injured working as a signalman at the railroad on a summer job.
Since 1975, he has concentrated almost entirely in the FELA field of practice. For over a quarter of a century, he has tried, either exclusively or with the members of his firm and/or its affiliates, FELA cases from New Orleans, Louisiana through Jacksonville, Florida to Washington D.C. |

In addition to those states where he is a member of the bar licensed to practice in that jurisdiction, he has represented numerous other injured railroad employees in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Minnesota, Oklahoma and District of Columbia.
