FELA & Railroad Injury:

  • What to Look for in a FELA / Railway Injury Attorney   
    Are you looking for an experienced attorney to handle your FELA / railroad injury case? Don’t just go with the first lawyer you find – make sure you do your homework, interview a few firms, and ask lots of questions. You might be surprised by some of the answers you get, and in the end a little research will help you make the right choice.
  • Do you really need a FELA Railway Injury Attorney?   
    After a railway accident, you may be wondering if you should hire a lawyer. The insurance company says you shouldn’t, but you suspect they aren’t telling you the whole story. The real answer? It depends. Serious accident cases fare much better with an experienced attorney’s help, while minor rail accident claims are often best handled by the victim.
  • Rail workers deserve compensation for serious spine injuries   
    Railway work can be dangerous for even the most experienced employees, and every year workers are injured or killed while just trying to do their job. Some injuries can leave workers unable to work as much as they used to, if at all. One serious kind of injury is a spinal cord injury, which can cause full or partial paralysis or other problems with movement or sensation.
  • Why you need help after a railroad head injury   
    Given the dangerous nature of railroad work, rail workers can be injured in many different ways. One very serious type of injury that some workers suffer is major head trauma. This can include skull fractures, bleeding brain, contusions, concussion, and more. When combined with other injuries like spinal cord damage, injured workers need all the help they can get from an experienced FELA attorney.
  • Dangerous toxic substances can lead to injury and death for rail workers   
    Rail workers are exposed every day to dangerous substances like silica dust, benzene, chemical solvents, diesel exhaust, and more. If the proper precautions are not taken, rail employees can be seriously injured or killed by these chemicals. If you are a railroad worker who suspects that you are suffering because of exposure to a hazardous substance, you need a FELA lawyer to ensure you get fair compensation from your employer.
  • Why your railroad employer doesn’t like FELA   
    If you’ve been injured while working for a railroad company, you may be wondering why your employer is reluctant to compensate you for your injuries. There are several reasons why railroads don’t like FELA, the federal act that covers injured workers like you when they are hurt on the job. FELA offers a number of protections to hurt rail employees, protections that can cost the railroads big bucks.
  • Railway workers: diesel exhaust can lead to respiratory illness   
    Many railway workers are routinely exposed to hazardous toxins like diesel exhaust. The components of diesel exhaust have been linked to cancer, COPD, asthma, and other respiratory ailments. If you’ve been injured while working for a railroad then it is time to stand up for your rights and get in touch with a lawyer experienced with FELA railway accident cases.
  • How railway workers can be injured on the job   
    As any railroad worker will attest, railway work can be dangerous. There are a wide variety of ways that rail workers can be injured, and all can lead to permanent, debilitating damage. If you’ve been injured while working for a railroad it is important that you protect your rights by speaking with a skilled FELA / railway injury attorney as soon as possible.
  • Repetitive motion disorders can permanently sideline a railway worker   
    Performing the same task day in and day out for years on end is something some railway workers must do to earn a living. However, this kind of repetitive motion can lead to permanent, serious injury if not properly performed. If you believe that you have experienced a repetitive motion disorder, then it is in your best interest to speak with a FELA attorney about your situation.
  • Top 6 Aviation Safety Issues
