Your Railroad Employee Injury Questions, Answered
What is FELA, and how does it help railroad workers?
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act allows injured railroad employees to sue their employer for negligence and recover full damages — unlike standard workers’ compensation.
Who qualifies to file a FELA claim?
Any railroad employee injured due to employer negligence, unsafe conditions, or equipment failure may have a valid FELA claim.
What kinds of compensation are available under FELA?
You may be eligible for compensation covering medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term disability.
How do you prove railroad company negligence?
We gather maintenance records, safety reports, and expert testimony to show how the railroad failed to protect workers.
What types of injuries are common among railroad workers?
Injuries often include spinal trauma, brain injuries, broken bones, burns, and repetitive stress damage — all of which may be grounds for a claim.
Do I have to report the injury right away?
Yes — reporting the incident immediately is critical. You have three years from the date of injury to file a claim. We can guide you through protecting your rights from day one.
Do you handle railroad employee injury claims outside Atlanta?
Yes — in addition to serving clients in Atlanta, we handle railroad injury cases throughout Georgia and across the United States.
