FIGHTING FOR FULL COMPENSATION
Our Services for Injured Railroad Employees in Macon
FELA Injury Claims
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act gives railroad employees the right to sue for injuries caused by employer negligence. We help Macon workers gather evidence and build strong, compelling claims under FELA.
Unsafe Work Conditions
Poor equipment, dangerous job sites, and lack of training contribute to many preventable injuries. Our attorneys hold railroad companies accountable for failing to maintain a safe work environment.
FRSA Retaliation Claims
The Federal Rail Safety Act (FRSA) protects employees who report safety violations or injuries. If you've faced retaliation for speaking up, we’ll fight for your rights under federal law.

Your Railroad Injury Questions, Answered
What is FELA, and how does it help me?
FELA allows injured railroad employees to seek compensation through the courts when employer negligence causes harm.
How is a FELA claim different from workers' comp?
FELA claims require proving negligence but often provide higher compensation than standard workers' compensation benefits.
Can I be fired for reporting unsafe conditions?
No. The FRSA protects you from retaliation if you report safety concerns, violations, or injuries.
What damages can I recover through FELA?
You may recover lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and compensation for permanent disability or reduced earning capacity.
Do you only serve Macon railroad workers?
Not at all. We represent injured railroad workers across Georgia and nationwide in serious work injury cases.
How long do I have to file a FELA claim?
FELA claims must be filed within three years of the injury date — but starting early strengthens your case.
What if I’m partly at fault for the accident?
FELA allows partial fault. You may still recover compensation, though it may be reduced based on your share of responsibility.
