Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) Claims & Advocacy
Railroad workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions in the country, frequently dealing with heavy machinery, moving trains, hazardous materials, and challenging environments.
Because of these unique risks, injuries can be severe and life-altering. Unlike typical workers’ compensation claims, railroad employee injuries fall under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), which allows you to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against your employer. Filing a FELA claim can be complex, requiring specialized knowledge of federal law and railroad industry regulations to secure the compensation you deserve.
