FELA (Railroad) Legal Funding

Apply for Appellate Financing

FELA Railroad train
The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), is a law enacted by Congress in 1908 in response to the epidemic of work related injuries & deaths in the railroad industry.

FELA gives railroad workers not protected under regular workers compensation laws the right to sue their employers for damages if injured on the job.

Under FELA, workers have been awarded monetary payouts for pain and suffering by allowing a jury to determine awards based on comparative negligence. FELA was intended to make the railroad industry less dangerous, although railroad companies have been seeking reform after being sued for large awards under the law.

The real problem is that despite the ability to win jury awards, workers are often forced to wait years if the railroad company fights the decisions. Some workers have even lost full compensation because of their legal actions.

For fear of disciplinary action or retaliation, FELA lawyers and transportation union officials have said many railroad injuries go unreported. The railroad industry’s consolidation in the late 1990s has only further intimidated some workers and made matters worse.

Legal Funding for FELA Plaintiffs
Working for the railroad is dangerous work; accidents are common and are frequently very serious and debilitating or even deadly. So it isn't uncommon for people who have been injured in railroad accidents to be out of work while they recover from their injuries.

Obviously this can cause excessive financial hardship and railroad workers involved in a FELA settlement often find themselves in need of extra money to pay bills, basic living expenses, medical travel, etc., while they wait for their settlement money to arrive. Pre settlement funding or a lawsuit cash advance can give FELA plaintiffs the money they need right now to get their lives back on track.

All too often, railroad workers involved in FELA litigation are on the brink of financial disaster and feel like they're all alone. They're behind on bills or maybe they're afraid they're going to lose their home or car. Emergency funds are exhausted, they're broke and think they have nowhere else to turn for help, but:

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE.
