If you work
for a railroad and are injured on the job, your sole remedy is likely
to be the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). Unlike
workers compensation, a recovery under FELA requires railroaders
to prove fault on the part of the railroad.
Most railroad
workers have little knowledge regarding the complex federal statute
that governs this area. Railroads have little incentive to provide
information to injured workers, knowing that they may be the ones
who are going to foot the bill for the injuries.
Jack Strellis,
one of our founding attorneys, is a card-carrying member of the
railroad union. Jack understands the frustration that often accompanies
an injured railroad worker’s case. Through the years Strellis

workers: engineers, brakemen, red caps, ticketing personnel and

your position at the railroad, we are ready to help you with your
