San Antonio Railroad Injury Lawyers

Working for the railroad is an inherently hazardous occupation that comes with a high risk of serious injury or death. In 1908, Congress enacted the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) to protect railroad employees injured at work and give them the right to recover money damages from the railroad. Due to the nature of the job, Congress felt special attention and strict regulations were needed to protect railroad employees. FELA makes a railroad liable to an employee injured or killed as a result of railroad negligence, no matter how small a part that negligence plays in the injury or death.
