Railroad Accidents & Injury
Railroad accident injuries are among the most devastating workplace injuries; therefore, the railroad worker is protected in railroad accidents by the Federal Employers Liability Act. FELA is different than workers compensation, by requiring negligent employers to provide full compensation for all damages associated with the FELA injury.
Railroad accidents that may qualify for a FELA claim include: rail yard accidents, train derailments, railroad tract accidents, and a train wreck. An experienced FELA claim lawyer can successfully navigate the complex procedure surrounding a FELA claim not only to protect an injured worker, but to recover the maximum allowed under the law.
