Chicago FELA Accident Lawyers
Injured Railroad Workers Deserve Justice
Railroad companies must provide workers with a reasonably safe workplace, conduct regular inspections, enforce safety regulations, provide training, and supervise employees to prevent accidents. They must also avoid setting unreasonable deadlines and work quotas that might contribute to accidents. These regulations were laid within the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), a federal law for more than 100 years aimed at providing compensation for injured railroad workers. Through FELA lawsuits, injured workers and their families have a powerful legal remedy in the face of injury and loss.
Anesi Ozmon is here to help you seek the resources you need under the provisions laid out by FELA. Call our railroad worker accident attorneys at (312) 779-6610 today for a consultation.
Compensation in Railroad Injury Cases
Most workplace injuries and deaths are compensable through workers’ compensation, but workers are not usually able to sue their employers. Railroad accidents are in a class by themselves. Injured rail workers and surviving family members can file injury claims and lawsuits against employers, equipment manufacturers, or other railroad employees whose negligence resulted in serious accidents.
Through FELA injury claims and wrongful death claims, plaintiffs can recover damages as follows:
- Compensation for past and future medical expenses
- Compensation for lost wages, both past and future
- Compensation for pain and suffering, and mental anguish
After being injured or having lost a family member in a railroad accident, you can rely on our experience, knowledge, skill, and reputation to make a great difference in your case's outcome. Anesi Ozmon is here to help, advise, and represent you in your FELA lawsuit.
