Granite City FELA Attorney

Jones Act Lawyer in Granite City

If you have been injured while working on a ship or interstate railroad, you are not eligible for normal worker’s compensation.  Instead, Congress has provided a different avenue for railroad workers and maritime professionals to recover compensation for their on the job injuries.  If your injury was caused by negligence on the part of your employer, co-worker, manager or other colleague, you might be able to bring a case against your company to recover damages.  A Granite City FELA/Jones Act lawyer at Page Cagle can help you to decide the best course of action after you have been injured at work. 
FELA, or the Federal Employers Liability Act, was put in place to provide for railroad workers and their families in the case of on the job injury caused by negligence.  You are required to prove that your employer or other coworker was responsible for your injury or injuries due to negligent action or inaction and a jury will decide on the amount of compensation that you can receive.  FELA also can allow for the family of an individual who was killed at work to recover damages. 
The Jones Act is a similar law that was passed in 1920 to provide for injured maritime workers.  It operates in much the same way as the railroad worker’s act.  If you were injured due to negligence at the workplaces, you can file a federal suit against your employer and a jury can award you unlimited damages.
