Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) Railroad Injury Claims
Railroad accidents occur for many reasons, but mostly due to the railroad’s failure to provide a reasonably safe place to work. This can include defective equipment (which includes hand brakes, switches, grab irons, handholds, sill steps, drawbars, air hoses, uncoupling levers, along with holes, ruts and depressions in the ballast roadbed where employees must work.) Accidents and injuries may also occur due to crossing accidents, derailments, hard or unexpected coupling accidents during switching moves, accidents resulting from remote control issues, vegetation, debris and hazardous walking conditions, faulty communications, unsafe track equipment, improperly loaded vehicles; unsafe lifting/hoisting practices and violations of safety or operating rules.
It is important to know that your interests and the railroad’s interests are not aligned. In order to protect your interests, it is critical that you seek help from an experienced attorney who has a successful track record in handling FELA claims. Immediately after a work accident, the railroad has an experienced claims agent and will also hire an aggressive defense attorney who will begin protecting its interests. Likewise, a lawyer at Rome, Arata, Baxley & Stelly, LLC will take immediate action in investigating the accident and gathering evidence and expert testimonial to support your claim.
