FELA Railroad Injuries

Railroad Accident Lawyers & Attorneys serving the entire United States.

The Federal Employment Liability Act governs railroad workers who are not covered by regular workers compensation laws with regard to their at-work injuries.  Under FELA, railroaders are able to sue their employers directly for damages, including but not limited to pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, lost wages, expenses associated with lifelong disability, loss of earning capacity, and more.  

Because the large, moving parts of a railroad are inherently dangerous, the injuries workers suffer are often severe.  The heat can lead to burns, falling from heights can lead to back injury and neck injury, working with or near toxic chemicals can cause exposure issues, and amputations are tragically all too common.

Injured Railroad Employees Recover Under FELA when:

• Hurt while working
• Negligence or recklessness of an employer, associate or equipment manufacturer caused or contributed to injury

If you are hurt while working for a railroad, you are not required to hire a union-designated attorney.  You can hire the lawyer of your choice, no matter what you are told.  The attorneys at our firm handle serious injury and wrongful death cases, and Dax Garza is a Board Certified Personal Injury Attorney who will work personally on your case, from start to finish.

Following your accident, secure a meeting with a railroad injury lawyer to find out if you are entitled to FELA coverage for your claims. At Dax F. Garza, PC, our experienced injury attorneys provide free consultations in which injured railroad workers and their families can discuss their challenges and questions.

We handle cases nationwide, and will come to you if your medical condition inhibits your ability to meet with us at our Houston or Corpus Christi, Texas offices.  Contact Us today at 855-522-3002.
