Houston Railroad Injuries Attorneys

1. Houston Railroad Injuries Attorneys The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) is the federal law that protects and compensates railroad workers injured on the job. FELA is not the same as workers’ compensation because whereas workers’ compensation is provided regardless of fault, FELA requires the injured railroad worker to prove a railroad was negligent in some way. Railroad accidents do not just affect railroad workers, however. Passengers may be injured in accidents on commuter trains, and people can also be injured as pedestrians or occupants of motor vehicles involved in train accidents.

2. Do I Need A Railroad Injuries Lawyer? With FELA claims, injured railroad workers need to understand that railroads will usually try to avoid paying for injuries by claiming that a victim was at fault for their injuries. You should be especially cautious in dealing with any agent who is investigating your claim and try not to volunteer any information that is not already contained in your report.
