Working on the railroad is a demanding job, and unfortunately, it also carries a high risk of injury. If you've been hurt while working for a railroad company, you may be entitled to compensation under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). But navigating a FELA claim can be complex, and having an experienced attorney on your side is critical to maximizing your recovery.
Why FELA is Different
Unlike most workers' compensation cases, FELA claims require proving the railroad company's negligence contributed to your injury. This means you need to show they failed to provide a safe work environment or failed to properly train employees. An experienced FELA attorney at Ponder Legal Group will:
- Investigate the cause of your accident: We'll gather evidence to establish what happened and how the railroad company's actions or inactions played a role.
- Understand complex railroad regulations: FELA has specific rules and procedures. We'll ensure your claim complies with all legal requirements.
- Fight for full compensation: You deserve compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and potential future losses. We'll fight to get you the maximum recovery possible.
