FELA & Railroad Injuries

Maryland Railroad Injury Lawyer

In 1908, the US Congress passed an act to protect injured railroad workers, the Federal Employers Liability Act. Commonly known as FELA, this act protects employees’ rights and provides for compensation for railroad workers injured on the job. I have litigated countless personal injury or “FELA” cases on behalf of railroad workers injured due to workplace accidents. I have also handled a wide variety of workplace exposure cases such as those related to occupational asthma, toxic exposure to diesel exhaust, and occupational repetitive stress injuries. I encourage injured railroad workers to take advantage of my experience in this area and contact me for a free initial consultation.

I have served as plaintiffs’ liaison counsel before the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in a case involving more than 25 plaintiffs and their families injured or killed in a tragic head on collision in Silver Spring, Maryland in 1996. My extensive background and involvement with railroad litigation makes me uniquely qualified to represent injured railroaders.

I recognize the terrible consequences an injury can have on railroaders and their families. I take great pride in my ability and commitment to obtaining fair compensation for work-related injuries. I have developed a page of FELA information for railroad workers to consult if they have suffered workplace injuries. I hope you will find the information useful.
