FELA Attorney

Experienced FELA Representation

The Law Offices of Martin E. Jackson is dedicated to representing the rights of injured railroad workers under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). As a railroad employee, you are entitled to compensation if your employer's negligence caused or contributed to your injury. FELA claims can be significantly greater than a workers' compensation claim, as they may include damages for the pain and suffering you experienced in the accident. My first day practicing law was spent representing a railroad worker dying of asbestos exposure from working around steam locomotives in a roundhouse in Virginia. I have spent the past 26 years since then as a FELA attorney, providing counsel and dedicated representation for thousands of railroad employees in over 35 states and in federal courts across the country. I have achieved more than $50 million in settlements and verdicts for my clients.

If you have suffered any type of railroad injury, it is advisable to retain legal representation as early as possible after the accident. Without an advocate on your side, there is no guarantee that you will be successful in recovering compensation. The railroad company has its own legal team to guard against liability claims, and you deserve to have an attorney looking out for your best interests and defending against attempts to minimize or deny your claim. You may have expensive medical bills and it is possible that the injury has left you with permanent disabilities which place your livelihood at risk.

My firm represents railroad workers suffering from cumulative traumatic injuries, hearing loss, chemical solvent exposure, and occupational diseases such as exposure to welding fumes, toxic encephalopathy, benzene exposure and mesothelioma. I work with injured workers and their families across the country, whether you have experienced traumatic railroad personal injuries or if you need help filing a wrongful death lawsuit after losing a loved one.

Lawyer Representing Injured Railroad Workers and Their Families

The time following an injury should be spent healing and moving on from the accident, not struggling through red tape to recover the compensation you deserve. With my years of experience helping people in your position, I know how frustrating it can be to meet opposition in your claim for damages, and I do not believe that you should have to face this challenge alone. Whether you are seeking Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits, if you believe you have grounds for a whistleblower lawsuit or if you simply want to receive compensation for injuries such as in a grade crossing accident or trucking accident, I will do everything in my power to maximize your claim. The earlier we can begin work on your case, the better your chances will be of a successful outcome.
