SIGNIFICANT LEGAL PROTECTIONS
Railroad workers face extremely dangerous and life-threatening safety hazards daily. Because the men and women who work for the railroad are so important, Congress passed the Federal Employers Liability Act (“FELA”) for the protection of the thousands of railroad workers employed nationwide. FELA provides legal recovery for railroad workers and their families for injuries suffered by the railroad worker while on the job.
A RAILROAD WORKER NEED ONLY SHOW THE RAILROAD IS 1% AT FAULT FOR ANY INJURIES SUFFERED
Under the FELA’s “featherweight” burden of proof, a railroad worker only has to show that the railroad was somehow negligent, and that such negligence, no matter how small in its relation to the injuries suffered, played some role in causing those injuries.
If a railroad’s failure to provide a reasonable safe work environment, equipment, tools or safety devices caused your injuries, you have a legitimate case.
Starting your FELA claim immediately after your worksite injury is of the utmost importance. Ryan typically begins working with his railroad clients within 48 hours of their incident. The railroad will start its defense as soon as the railroad employee is injured. Railroads hire big law firms and pay lawyers thousands of dollars an hour to fight railroad workers and argue that the railroad has no responsibility in nearly every case.
Injured railroad workers need an aggressive and nationally recognized law firm like the Buzbee Law Firm to protect their interests. After hiring Ryan, he will immediately perform a site inspection; take witness statements; hire the necessary railroad experts to investigate the incident and ensure you are getting the medical treatment you need for your injuries. Do not wait.
