Saint Louis Personal Injury Lawyer Offers Assistance to FELA Claimants

Employers Liability Act (FELA). By hiring a lawyer well-versed in FELA claims, injured rail industry workers such as engineers, yardmasters, and switchmen become better able to receive the compensation due them.

Clayton, MO (prHWY.com) October 29, 2012 - Clayton, Missouri (September 27, 2012) - Saint Louis personal injury lawyer Ryan Bradley and his team at the Bradley Law Firm are offering legal services to workers pursuing claims under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). By hiring a lawyer well-versed in FELA claims, injured rail industry workers such as engineers, yardmasters, and switchmen become better able to receive the compensation due them.

According to the Federal Railroad Administration, roughly 3,000 train accidents occur in the United States each year. Common injuries include brain and spine injuries and quadriplegia. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports that 60% of all rail accidents happen at unguarded rail crossings.

To protect at-risk rail workers, Congress passed the Federal Employer's Liability Act in 1908. A claim filed under the FELA is essentially the federal government's workers' compensation structure for railroad personnel. The FELA has been the sole protective remedy for rail workers for the past 100 years.

A Missouri wrongful death attorney or personal injury lawyer who is well-versed in FELA claims should be able to file these claims in a civil court, where the case will be tried by a jury. The jury, after considering the merits of the case, will decide on the amount of harm the injured railroad employee suffered due to the accident or the associated trauma.

The Bradley Law Firm handles railroad grievance cases for train engineers, conductors, switchmen, yardmasters, and operators who are injured on the job. Their attorneys strongly believe that injured workers are entitled to receive compensation for things like past, current, and future lost wages and medical bills.
