Americans rely upon our railway system for delivery of products every day. Many people still travel by train. While the vast majority of products and passengers reach their destinations safely, the Federal Railroad Administration reported that in 2003, there were more than 13,877 railroad accidents in the United States in which 858 people lost their lives. Though rare in comparison with other transportation accidents, railroad accidents often have catastrophic results in the form of severe personal injury or death suffered by workers or those close to the tracks.

People injured as a result of a railroad accident might find the prospect of challenging a major railroad company intimidating. The attorneys at Warshauer Poe & Thornton, P.C. understand that even powerful corporations and conglomerates can be at fault in an accident. We have the skill, experience, and resources necessary to ensure that all negligent parties are held fully responsible for any negligent acts. A talented railroad accident attorney can build a case upon any number of factors, including:
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) was passed in 1908 to protect railroad workers against employer negligence and exploitation. Additionally, the FELA is in place to ensure that railroad workers injured on the job are able to receive appropriate compensation for their injuries. Though the provisions of the FELA are similar to those of workers’ compensation laws, in order to recover damages under the FELA, railroad workers must be able to prove that their injuries were a direct result of their employers’ negligence.
Although the FELA is in place to protect the rights of injured railroad workers, many railroad companies and employers have access to powerful legal counsel and attempt to avoid their responsibilities. Injured railroad employees need serious, experienced representation to recover the full compensation to which they are entitled.
