FELA Train Accident Lawsuit Funding

Trains all across the country travel more than a million miles a day to transport goods, services, and people. Workers are needed to operate the trains and manage the railroad systems. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 105,500 railroad worker jobs in 2016. Every year, a number of employees are injured on the job. If you’ve been hurt and have filed a personal injury claim, you may be eligible for FELA train accident lawsuit funding.

FELA Train Accident Claims

If you’re injured while working for a railroad company, your rights are protected under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). According to the act, you can seek compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering if the accident was caused by your employer’s negligent behavior.

The most common railroad accidents that lead to FELA claims include train derailments, slips, trips, falls, explosions and electrocutions, and heavy equipment and machinery injuries. According to the Federal Railroad Administration, the majority of train accidents are the direct result of human error.

There are a number of injuries that those accidents could result in. While no accident is minor, some incidents, fortunately, result in less severe injuries. Lacerations, sprains, and soft tissue injuries can often be treated quickly and may not take a long time to heal. When an accident results in more severe or even catastrophic injuries, a person’s life could be changed forever. Spinal cord injuries, severe burns, lost limbs, or traumatic brain injuries can affect a person for a considerable amount of time, if not for the rest of their life.

If you file a personal injury claim, the compensation you are awarded under FELA varies depending on the unique circumstances of your case. With a strong claim, however, you could be awarded compensation for past and future medical expenses, past and future wages—particularly if you are unable to continue being gainfully employed, lost benefits like vacation pay or medical insurance, and pain, suffering, and emotional distress. Unfortunately, that compensation isn’t always available when you need it. Train accident litigation is complex, so claims can take a long time to settle. If you need money now, applying for lawsuit funding can help.
