San Antonio FELA Attorneys

Federal Employees Liability Act Representation in Texas

While railroads are dangerous places to work and accidents happen frequently resulting in severe injuries, the vast majority of these accidents are preventable with proper safety precautions. Worker negligence, and the failure of railroad companies to fix hazardous conditions, leaves workers vulnerable to accidents that can leave them injured, unable to work and in dire need of monetary compensation for their expenses.

The Federal Employees Liability Act, FELA is designed to cover railroad workers who suffer injuries on the job. Filing a FELA claim after a train or railroad accident is not always straightforward, however, and having an experienced attorney on your side is important. At The Law Offices of David McQuade Leibowitz, P.C. in San Antonio, our lawyers have extensive experience working with FELA claims and litigation throughout South Texas.

Straightforward Advice About FELA Claims

Railroad accidents can have a variety of causes, including:

• Exposure to dangerous chemicals
• Dangerous noise levels
• Inhalation of dangerous particles
• Body vibration from rough-riding trains
• Equipment failure
• Train collisions

In many cases, railroad companies are aware of dangerous conditions and understand that these conditions could lead to serious accidents, but they do not take actions to correct them. It is important to hold those companies accountable for their negligence, not only to secure the compensation that you and your family deserve, but to provide safer conditions in the future.
