When a lawsuit for a railroad worker's injuries is brought under FELA, the end result often does not involve a court trial. Many times FELA cases are taken to mediation before they ever reach trial, or are resolved through settlement conferences that can be ordered by the court. In both mediation and settlement conferences, an experienced attorney will represent and protect your legal interests. It is especially important that you meet with an attorney before the railroad company holds any type of hearing regarding safety and liability issues arising from the incident, as these proceedings can seriously affect your case. A knowledgeable attorney will represent you and protect your rights at every stage of your FELA claim, to make sure that you receive all compensation to which you are entitled.
