Railroad employees are covered by the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), not workers’ compensation. Under FELA, the burden of proof to establish fault is lower than in an ordinary negligence case, making it easier for the worker to prevail and recover damages. The worker must simply establish that his employer was negligent in some manner, no matter how slight, and that he suffered injuries as a result. This “featherweight” burden of proof is also used in the Jones Act and provides an advantage to railroad workers and offshore workers who are trying to recover for on-the-job injuries. The attorneys at Zehl & Associates understand the complicated legal standards that apply in railroad injury lawsuits and are experienced in maximizing a railroad worker’s recovery under FELA.

At Zehl & Associates, PC, our Train Accident Lawyers have successfully handled and resolved all types of railroad claims, including amputations, hearing loss, carpal tunnel syndrome, cumulative stress disorder, back injuries, catastrophic injuries and wrongful death.

Our Railroad Accident Lawyers will:

  • Devote whatever time and resources necessary to ensuring you receive the maximum compensation possible
  • Devote whatever resources necessary to ensure that the railroad is held accountable for your injuries and losses
  • Make sure you or your loved ones receive the best medical treatment available
  • Prepare your case for trial in the event the railroad refuses to offer a settlement that fully compensates you for your injuries and losses
