According to news reports, a CSX conductor was killed last week near Richmond, Virgina when he was struck by a passing train. This tragic incident is a sobering reminder of how dangerous railroad work is for the men and women who work on and around heavy, moving equipment. Our lawyers have handled many wrongful death cases, for railroaders and non-railroaders, and each one is a self contained drama. We work hard to make sure that the victims' families are compensated, but nothing makes up for, or replaces, the individual who has died. Fortunately, the Federal Employer's Liability Act, also known as FELA, provides a system of recovery that favors the railroad worker's survivors. For more information on the FELA or if you have questions about it, contact our office and one of our lawyers will be happy to assist you.
