FELA Lawsuits and AMTRAK Employees

Posted by Brad Ponder | Jun 13, 2023 | 0 Comments

The Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) is a law that provides railroad workers with the right to sue their employers for negligence if they are injured on the job. AMTRAK employees are considered railroad workers under FELA, so they have the same rights to sue their employer for negligence if they are injured on the job.

To be successful in a FELA lawsuit, an Amtrak employee must prove that their employer was negligent and that their negligence caused their injury. Negligence can be established by showing that the employer failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the injury, such as failing to provide safe working conditions or failing to train employees properly.

If an AMTRAK employee is successful in a FELA lawsuit, they may be awarded damages for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. The amount of damages that an Amtrak employee can recover will depend on the severity of their injuries and the circumstances of their case.

If you are an AMTRAK employee who has been injured on the job, you may be entitled to file a FELA lawsuit against your employer. It is important to speak with an experienced FELA attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal options.

Here are some of the things an experienced FELA attorney can do for you:

  • Investigate your accident and gather evidence to support your claim.
  • Negotiate with your employer or its insurance company to try to reach a settlement.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary and represent you in court.
  • Help you recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

If you have been injured on the job as an Amtrak employee, don't wait to get help. Contact an experienced FELA attorney today.
