RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND INJURY LAWYERS

Written by our personal injury lawyers in Charlottesville

Injured on the railroad or at a railroad crossing, or by a train then you need experienced lawyers familiar with FELA and state laws.

If you are injured on the job while working for a railroad, special federal laws apply. If you are injured at a rail crossing or by a train, then particular state laws apply. The injured worker, or the person injured by a train should hire a lawyer who knows these laws inside and out, and who represents people in these type cases on a daily basis. Our personal injury lawyers in Charlottesville have 50+ years of experience in representing clients with railroad related injuries. Our personal injury lawyers know the rules of the various railroads and the particular laws that apply in Virginia.

Many workers do not realize it, but smaller railroads, other than CSX and Norfolk Southern, fall under the special laws of the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). These are protective laws which favor recoveries for injured employees. With the experience of lawyers at Wilson & Hajek, we are able to gather information and make this determination for injured employees.
