Federal Employers Liability Act

Railroad workers who have been injured in New Jersey are invited to contact a FELA claim lawyer to schedule a free initial consultation.

FELA, the Federal Employers Liability Act, allows you to bring a lawsuit against your employer after a railroad accident. It places strong incentives for railroad companies to keep the workplace safe despite the inherent risks of working with trains.

Please note you are not limited to workers' compensation as your sole remedy for recovery of damages after a railroad yard injury. The catastrophic injuries that you have had to endure, perhaps because your employer breached its duty to provide a safe workplace, have long-term ramifications for you and your family in the form of medical bills, lost wages and an inability to perform your former job.

We invite family members in New Jersey and New York to contact our firm in the wake of a fatal railroad accident to inquire about the possibility of bringing a wrongful death lawsuit against the railroad company that failed to keep your loved one safe.

Please contact our firm to schedule a free initial consultation regarding FELA and compensation following a serious railroad accident.  We are New York and New Jersey personal injury and medical malpractice attorneys.
