Yaeger Jungbauer & Barczak, PLC dates back to 1929 when Carl L. Yaeger, Sr., the firm's founder, was named partner in the firm of Davis, Michel & Yaeger. In the 1950s, two of Carl's sons, Carl, Jr. and Bill joined the firm and soon after the name became Yaeger & Yaeger.  Bill Jungbauer and Ron Barczak began working at Yaeger & Yaeger in the late 1970s. By 1985, Bill and Ron were active partners in the growing law firm and are now senior partners.

The firm currently has a national reputation for success in our representation of railroad workers injured on the job, seeking compensation under the Federal Employers' Liability Act or FELA.  Recognized as one of the premier FELA firms, we have handled thousands of FELA cases and related actions under the Federal Safety Appliance Act (FSSA) and the Federal Locomotive Inspection Act (LIA).  We represent injured railroaders in state and federal courts in more than 40 states.

SETTLEMENTS AND VERDICTS

• Confidential settlements for several families injured during a spill of anhydrous ammonia during a CP rail derailment near Minot, North Dakota.  The YJB team produced evidence sufficient to underscore CP's negligence and fault in multiple respects such as: violations of multiple federal safety regulations; CP used old, worn out, undersized 100 pound rail despite knowing it was inadequate, substandard, and inappropriate  for such use; CP failed to follow its own internal rule regarding the inspection, maintenance and repair of continuous welded rail; and CP discontinued ultrasonic testing which would have detected the cracked joint bar and prevented the derailment, among others.
  
  
• A $2.6 million insurance bad faith verdict in Kissondath v. U.S. Fire Ins. Co., 620 N.W. 2d 909 (Minn. Ct, App. 2001). In that case, a man and his wife were sitting in their parked pickup truck when they were struck and injured by a taxicab.
