Railroad Accidents/FELA

What is the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA)?

If you are a railroad worker and you have been injured on the job, you have legal remedies under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). Under FELA, railroad workers can bring personal injury lawsuits against their employers for their injuries. In addition to medical treatment and lost wages, FELA also provides for pain and suffering, and other damages not available under workers’ compensation.

FELA is a fault-based system, so you must be able to prove negligence on the part of another railroad employee, agent, contractor or defective equipment. Seek help from our Western New York railroad accident attorneys at Campbell & Associates to make sure that you file an effective claim. We diligently investigate all details of the accident to find evidence of negligence. Our team utilizes a full suite of engineering experts, accident reconstruction specialists and medical experts to help prove the railroad’s liability and your damages.
