Chicago railroad injury

Lawyer RSS Feed





The Federal Employer’s Liability Act is a federal law that provides for benefits to workers who are injured on or around trains engaged in interstate commerce. There are many rules and exceptions that apply to whether an injury is covered by this act. Generally, an injured worker under F.E.L.A is entitled to receive damages if the road that he or she works for is involved in interstate commerce and if the workers injury is related to negligence or defect of equipment, such as the engine, cars or track.

A good Chicago personal injury lawyer will advance all costs in their railroad injury cases and seek no attorney fees unless they obtain a recovery on your behalf.

Under F.E.L.A, the railroad companies have certain duties that they may be held accountable for such as:

* Enforcing regulation and safety rules
* Taking care of reasonable weather conditions (such as the removal of snow)
* Inspecting equipment and tools for safety
* Keeping the work environment free of hazards
* Providing training, supervisors, and assistance within job functions

You should immediately consult with a lawyer if your injuries occurred on or around a train or train track. The attorneys associated with a good Chicago law firm hold those accountable for the injuries or deaths they cause. Such Chicago law firms represent injured clients and surviving family members in Chicago and in cities across Illinois with their years of experience in handling injury claims. If you have questions relating to railroad injuries, contact a good law firm immediately.
