Buffalo Railroad Worker Accident Lawyers

New York Train Worker Injury

Over a hundred years ago, the United States government enacted the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) to provide injured railroad workers a remedy to obtain monetary compensation following a railroad accident. Under the FELA, railroad workers may receive compensation for past and future lost wages, out-of-pocket medical expenses and reduced earning capacity because of an on-the-job injury.

These are unique lawsuits — different from a personal injury or workers' compensation claim — requiring the representation of a skilled litigator. Our firm helps injured railroad workers throughout Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, including workers for the following railroads:

• CSX Transportation
• Grand Trunk Western Railroad
• Canadian National Railroad
• Metro North Railroad
• Amtrak

There is no Workers Compensation available for railroad workers, and that is the reason for the Federal Employers Liability Act, and the railroad worker has to bring a claim in court in order to recover.
