FELA/Railroad Accidents

Experienced Texas Railroad Accident Lawyers

FELA/Railroad Accidents

The Federal Employees Liability Act (FELA) governs the circumstances under which injured workers can pursue personal injury claims against the railroad. At Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend, we are familiar with the details of this act and understand how to use it to recover compensation for our clients.

If you were injured while working on an interstate railroad, or you are suffering the loss of a family member, the attorneys at Abraham Watkins can help. We will investigate the accident and pursue a claim against any and all responsible parties. Contact our office in Houston, Texas, to speak with an experienced FELA attorney about your case.
