Railroad Workers and FELA
The Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) gives railroad workers and their families the right to sue for compensation for injury or death. A jury decides whether they are entitled to compensation and the amount of that compensation. In cases that involve a traumatic injury or death, you must file your lawsuit against FELA within three years of the injury or death.
Filing a suit under the FELA can be a complicated process. We understand that this is a terrible time for you. Let us handle the legal procedures and work to get the compensation you need so you can start to heal and move forward.
Railroad Crossing Accidents
If you lost a loved one due to a fatal train accident at a crossing, you may be entitled to compensation from the railroad company. There are many legal issues to work through in these wrongful death cases. You have to think about loss of income, medical and funeral expenses and more. You need someone who will protect your interests in the short and long term.
You may feel overwhelmed right now, and that's where an experienced lawyer can help. We know what questions to ask and what information to collect. We have experience fighting for people's rights and seeking full compensation from the railroad.
