Sammons & Associates, P.C.

Enacted by Congress in 1910, the Federal Employers Liability Act ("FELA") was "designed to put on the railroad some of the cost for the legs, eyes, arms, and lives which it consumed in its operations." Unlike workers in most other industries, the FELA specifically allows current and former railroad workers to file a claim or lawsuit against their employer to recover damages for injuries sustained while working on the railroad. In fact, the FELA is the exclusive remedy for most claims a railroad worker may have as a result of an on-the-job injury. If you or someone you know has been injured while working for a railroad, contact our office immediately for a free initial consultation.
