The Myers Firm

What The Myers Firm does

The Myers Firm is a plaintiff-side personal injury law firm founded in 2001 by William L. Myers Jr. and headquartered in Philadelphia, with additional offices in New York and Boston. Its central specialty is representation of railroad workers under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), supported by seven additional practice areas: catastrophic injuries, construction accidents, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, nursing home abuse, premises liability, and defective products. The firm operates across roughly ten Eastern Seaboard states, with jury verdicts and settlements stretching from New England to the Mid-Atlantic.

The firm's core competitive asset is human capital: the founder has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and holds more than 35 years of trial experience, and the investigative bench includes a former Amtrak chief investigator plus four former railroad employees, giving the practice operational insight into railroad employer practices that generalist PI firms cannot replicate. Support staff covers a CMO, paralegal, office manager, and legal secretary. The firm has accumulated a publicly listed docket of multi-million-dollar recoveries over its history, headlined by a $21 million verdict in 2022.

The business model is standard plaintiff contingency fee: clients pay no upfront cost and the firm is compensated as a percentage of settlement or verdict. Distribution is driven by union referrals within the railroad labor ecosystem, a content-marketing footprint (podcast, YouTube, blog, and the founder's published novels), and the founder's professional positioning within the Academy of Rail Labor Attorneys. There is no disclosed technology platform or AI capability; the value proposition is specialized legal expertise and trial readiness rather than software or data assets.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: Largest U.S. plaintiff personal injury firm with a national advertising machine and broad practice areas. Comparable as a competitor for personal injury claimants, including FELA-adjacent cases, but operates at a vastly larger scale with mass-market branding rather than niche FELA specialization.

Direct peers

• Kline & Specter: Philadelphia-based plaintiff trial firm famous for record-setting verdicts in personal injury and med-mal cases. Comparable because both firms emphasize trial-readiness and contingency-fee representation of catastrophically injured clients in the Mid-Atlantic region.
• Napoli Shkolnik: New York plaintiff firm with practices in personal injury, mass tort, and complex litigation. Comparable because both firms serve injured individuals on contingency in the Northeast and frequently litigate against major institutional defendants such as transportation and utility companies.
• Levy Konigsberg: New York plaintiff firm with nationally recognized practice in FELA/railroad injury, asbestos, and catastrophic injury cases. Comparable because it is one of the few firms with a comparable FELA specialization and competes for the same unionized rail workforce along the Eastern Seaboard.
• Anapol Weiss: Philadelphia-based plaintiff personal injury firm with a long-standing mass tort and complex injury practice. Highly comparable because both firms compete for the same Eastern Seaboard plaintiff pool, share contingency-fee models, and operate from the Center City Philadelphia legal market.
• Wilbraham Law: Philadelphia-based plaintiff injury firm with a regional footprint and contingency-fee model covering auto, premises liability, and workplace injuries. Comparable because of overlapping Mid-Atlantic geography and similar contingency-fee plaintiff model targeting injured individuals.
• Ross Feller Casey: Philadelphia plaintiff firm notable for high-value verdicts (including multiple eight-figure recoveries) in personal injury and medical malpractice. Comparable because of similar contingency-fee structure, regional Philadelphia base, and emphasis on catastrophic injury matters that overlap with The Myers Firm's catastrophic injury and med-mal practice.
• Console & Associates: New Jersey/Philadelphia-area plaintiff injury firm with heavy marketing presence in personal injury, auto accidents, and workplace injuries. Comparable because of overlapping geography (NJ/PA), contingency-fee model, and similar mass-marketing approach to client acquisition.
• Feldman Shepherd: Philadelphia plaintiff firm with a strong personal injury, medical malpractice, and birth injury practice. Comparable because both firms target catastrophic-injury claimants in the same metro and operate on contingency fee arrangements.

Regional players

• Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm: New York-based plaintiff firm with a strong personal injury and medical malpractice practice. Comparable as a contingency-fee injury firm serving Northeast clients, but does not focus on FELA/railroad work, making it more of an adjacent competitor.
