Texas FELA Railroad Injury Claims Overview

Train Accident Injury Claims - FELA

Helping Injured Texas Railroad Workers

Railroad accidents often occur as the result of a railroad company's violating industry standards or safety regulations. If a railroad worker is injured because of an employer's negligence, the worker (or his or her family) may have the right to recover compensation under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).

Houston Accident Attorneys with Railroad Law Experience

Texas FELA railroad injury claims are unlike other work-related injury claims that are paid through the state workers' compensation system. Because railroads are federally regulated, FELA falls under federal, not state, laws.

Few law firms have experience handling train accident injury claims under FELA. That's not the case at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend. Our Houston, Texas, accident attorneys have been helping injured railroad workers since 1951.

Experience is why so many injured railroad workers and their families turn to Abraham Watkins to handle their FELA claims in railroad accidents involving:

  • Derailments
  • Exposure to hazardous materials (hazmat) 
  • Collisions with cars, trucks or trains
  • Engineering errors
  • Falls
  • Fires
