Railroad Accidents and FELA

New York railroad accident and FELA attorney

Laws have been enacted including Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) to protect railroad employees who are injured and provide compensation and money damages for those injuries. Employees have a right to bring a direct claim and lawsuit against their employer.

It can take place at a train or subway station, on the stairs, on the train or subway, in the repair facility or terminal or even a railroad crossing.
