from the railroad for injuries that occur on the job . You must prove that your injury was caused at least partially
by the negligence of the railroad or any of its employees .
It is very important that you speak with an experienced
FELA Attoney immediately
after your injury . An Attorney will conduct an investigation in order to determine whether
the railroad was negligent & therefore responsible for your injuries .
