FELA Attorney in Springfield, Missouri

Springfield, MO Jones Act Lawyer

The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) was passed in 1908 in a response to the soaring number of railroad workers injured or killed while working on the job.  This act is geared to protect you as a railroad worker and your family in the event of your wrongful death on the job.  FELA gives you the ability to file suit against your employer to recover damages for your injury.  This is different from worker’s compensation in that you are required to prove negligence on the part of an employer, manager, co-worker, etc.  However, there is no cap on the amount of compensation that you can receive.  A Springfield FELA/Jones Act Lawyer at Cagle Law Firm can offer you the legal representation that you need to maximize your chances of a positive outcome in your case. 
The Jones Act, also called the Merchant Marine Act, was passed by Congress in 1920 to provide coverage for injured sailors and their families in the same manner that FELA provides for railroad workers.  The Jones Act similarly requires that the injured employee prove negligence in the workplace in order to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, hospitalization costs, medication costs and other financial hardships brought upon by your injuries.  A Cagle Law Firm lawyer can help you if you feel that you have a case against your employer.
