Your Railroad Employee Injury Questions, Answered
Can I sue after a railroad work injury?
Yes. Under FELA, you may sue your employer if negligence caused or contributed to your injury.
What’s the difference between FELA and workers’ comp?
FELA allows for lawsuits and generally offers higher compensation, but it requires proving the employer’s fault.
How do I know if I have a strong case?
Contact us. We’ll review your situation, investigate thoroughly, and explain your legal options under FELA and FRSA.
Do you only handle cases in Waycross?
Not at all. While we serve Waycross railroad employees, we represent clients across Georgia and nationwide.
What if my employer retaliated after I reported my injury?
That may violate the Federal Rail Safety Act. We’ll build a case to protect your rights and seek justice.
How much time do I have to file?
You have three years to file a FELA claim, but the sooner you act, the better.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault?
Yes. FELA allows partial fault claims—your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility.
