FELA/Railroad Law
The Environmental Attorneys Group represents railroad
workers for on-the-job injuries under a law called the Federal Employers'
Liability Act, commonly referred to as the FELA. This law applies equally to
railroads throughout the country and allows us to file a suit on behalf of our
clients in federal or state court. We have a strong track record of pursuing
these claims successfully on behalf of our clients. The Environmental Attorneys
Group will vigorously pursue the maximum compensation available on your behalf.
Our clients are often still recovering from their injuries
and may be undergoing time consuming medical treatment. We handle all of the
details for you. We frequently meet with clients in their home or the hospital
if their health prevents them from coming to our offices and are able to handle
much of our client communication by mail or telephone. We do everything we can
to make sure these legal proceedings are not a burden on our injured clients.
We do not charge an attorney fee for personally consulting
with you about your railroad injury case. Many people do not have the money to
hire a FELA injury lawyer to protect their rights. You probably didn’t have
this injury figured into your budget. Now you have high medical bills, probably
lost wages, and many other financial worries caused by this situation. It is
unfair for these obstacles to prevent you from obtaining the full amount you
are due under the law in just compensation for your railroad injury.
You deserve to be fully compensated for your losses and
protected from future complications. Protecting your rights is important to us.
That’s the reason we cover all expenses until the end of a case and then we are
paid a portion of the funds recovered. If we are unable to recover compensation
for you, you do not owe us a fee. This is called a “contingency fee”
arrangement and is common among Alabama FELA injury attorneys.
Attorneys put up large sums of money on these complex cases
in order to hire experts, take depositions, gather evidence and oppose the
lawyers of the railroad industry. The attorney you choose must be able to cover
the expenses for such battles. Not only does the Environmental Attorneys Group
have the resources, we have the experience, skill and dedication to successfully
resolve your claim.
Please feel free to Contact us about any questions you may
have or call us toll-free at (800) 585-0461 or (205) 326-1000. We will answer
any questions you may have free of charge. If it is necessary for us to meet
with you in your home or health care facility, we will be happy to make
arrangements with you for that meeting.
