Railroad Accidents

Whether you are a private individual or a federal employee of the railroad system, if you have been injured in a railroad accident that was not your fault, you are within your rights to seek the compensation necessary to help you overcome the effects of the event. Barasch, McGarry, Salzman, & Penson possess the kind of experience and understanding of New York railroad law and federal railroad law to be of the greatest assistance to you as you recover from a devastating accident.

If you are a railroad employee, the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) is on your side. Since 1908, this law has placed the burden of making a case against the need to compensate the employee upon the railroad. In other words, FELA makes it the responsibility of the railroad to prove unquestionably that it is not at fault in any way for an injury to its employees. Still, you should be aware that any investigations that take place through the company are for the benefit of the company. Ultimately, any information gained will be used to minimize the potential for the railroad to compensate its employees for damages suffered on the job.

Barasch, McGarry, Salzman, & Penson are experienced railroad lawyers who will be able to quickly determine the merits of your circumstances and build a case that will have the greatest potential for success. Evaluating your case for free is a service that is offered to anyone wishing to discuss the specific details of his or her particular situation. Please call to find out the best way to move forward following a railroad injury.
