Railroad & FELA

Railroad & FELA Cases

The Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) was specifically designed to protect railroad workers at risk of receiving injury due to repetitive trauma or other work-related conditions. Additionally, other individuals may suffer serious injury or death at railroad crossings due to the negligence of railway companies. For the past 30 years, our attorneys have been involved in railroad and FELA cases. We have assisted railroad employees and injured victims obtain just compensation for injuries or death sustained as a result of the misconduct of  railway companies.
