Rail workers have special protections under the FELA, or Federal Employer's Liability Act. With FELA, injured workers can collect benefits that will help them cover medical bills and lost wages following a railroad accident. Many railroad employees are uncertain of their rights under FELA and find answers with the help of an experienced FELA attorney.

We will help you fight for the FELA benefits you deserve. To make a successful claim, we will show that negligence on the part of the railroad or co-workers was a factor in your injury. In the event that negligence on the injured person's part was a contributing factor in the accident, he may still be able to recover damages. We will also demonstrate that the negligence caused your injury and resulted in financial loss.

If you or a loved one suffered severe injury after a work-related railroad accident, don't wait to file. A FELA claim has a statute of limitations of three years from the date of the accident.
