Railroad Worker's Injuries

Legal Advice for Railroad Workers Injured on the Job
Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) Lawyers

The railroad industry can be a dangerous place to work, and our laws recognize that fact. In the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA), the Locomotive Inspection Act, the Safety Compliance Act, and other laws, railroad owners and managers are held accountable for a safe work environment. Like workers' compensation for workers in other industries, FELA assures railroad workers and their families fair compensation for work-related injuries and wrongful death.

"The Federal Employers' Liability Act was designed to put on the railroad industry some of the costs of the legs, arms, eyes, and lives which it consumed in its operation" - Justice William O. Douglas, United States Supreme Court

If you have a FELA claim, the trial lawyers at the Provost Umphrey Law Firm have more over 30 years of experience representing railroad workers who have been injured and the families of railroad workers who have been killed in on-the-job accidents. Our law firm has lawyers, investigators, and staff members who are dedicated full time to FELA claims and other legal matters involving railroad employees and their families.

Are you having a hard time getting though the railroad retirement red tape? Is your railroad employer trying to control your medical care by sending you to a company doctor? What are your sickness benefits as a union employee? If you have legal questions about an on-the-job injury or your railroad worker benefits, you can talk to the Provost Umphrey Law Firm free of charge - even if you select another law firm to represent you. We are union-approved and designated FELA attorneys.
