Railroad Litigation
The Colvin Law Firm, APLC in Gretna, Louisiana are experienced and professional attorneys prepared to assist you in the event you have been injured while employed with a railroad company, or you have been injured in a railroad crossing accident.
Railroad Employees
If you are a railroad worker and have been injured while on the job, we are trained and experienced to assist you with the compensation you may be warranted. The Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) provides railroad employees with the ability to recover damages particularly when the railroad company is determined to have acted negligently or not followed a standardized safety procedure. A claim brought under FELA can assist you in recouping lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and long-term physical and financial care in the event you are unable to return to work.
Railroad Crossing Accidents
The rural roads of Louisiana are home to many railroad crossings. In many instances, railroad crossing barriers fail to work, lights warning of an oncoming train do not illuminate, or signs leading to a crossing are not adequately placed to warn of an oncoming train. Because of the high amount of railroad crossings in the state, which provides more room for crossing errors, Louisiana ranks in the top five in the nation for injuries sustained at railroad crossings.
Our law firm is fully prepared to assist you with our exceptional legal skills if you have been injured in an incident involving a railroad. Please contact us so that we can discuss your situation with you. We can provide thorough assistance to help bring you compensation in a timely and competent manner.
