St. Charles Jones Act Attorney
FELA Lawyer in St. Charles
If you have been injured while working on a boat or on an interstate railroad, you need to know your rights. Employers are legally required to provide responsibly safe conditions for their employees. Railroad workers and maritime professionals are not covered under normal worker’s compensation. In fact, the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) was passed in the early 20th century to provide for injured railroad workers and their families. The Jones Act, also called the Merchant Marine Act, was passed not long after in order to provide similar coverage for sailors and their families.
