Federal Employees Liability Act
Established 1908
FELA applies to all railroads, their employees and is the exclusive remedy for most claims an employee may have against his/her employer.
Railroad employees are injured or killed on the job daily. When this happens, the railroads retain skilled claim agents and attorneys to protect their interests. They put their legal knowledge to work - taking photographs, obtaining statements from witnesses, collecting measurements. These agents and attorneys work for the railroad, not for you.
Steve Young spent over 15 years in the railroad industry before returning to school to earn his law degree. He brings extensive industry experience and takes pride representing those railroad employees injured while on the job.
John Tavormina is an experienced trial lawyer and his successful record of jury awards, alerts the large railroad carriers that Tavormina & Young will not hesitate to take the case to a jury if the lawsuit settlement offer appears unreasonable.
Tavormina & Young have helped many injured employees and their families receive compensation under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) and will continue to help those in need.
Under FELA you are entitled to collect a claim if there is evidence that the injury was caused, in whole or part, by the fault or negligence of the railroad.
