Railroad Labor and Employment Defense

The railroad industry is heavily regulated. The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) provides the statutory framework for claims made by employees of railroads. This act is read in conjunction with the Safety Appliance Act (SAA) which sets forth the safety requirements for the railroad industry.  In addition the railroad industry is also governed by the Locomotive Inspection Act (LIA) and regulations passed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 

With all of this legislation and regulation it is easy to understand why railroad employers seek competent legal representation.  Our firm prides itself on providing top notch legal representation.
