Railroad Accident Litigation

This area of law involves the representation of individuals who have been injured in a collision with a railroad or upon railroad owned property. There are numerous federal and state regulations governing the conduct of railroads, while at the same time creating some protection for railroads, even when they cause injuries to individuals. For example, workers’ compensation claims by railroad employees are covered under a separate federal law known as the Federal Employers' Liability Act of 1907 (FELA).

If you have been involved in a railroad accident, you should contact an experienced lawyer in this area, as you may be entitled to a recovery of damages as a result of the railroad’s conduct. It is important you pursue your rights quickly because there are some deadlines that may apply to your claims.
