Before you reach out
Questions people ask before they call.
Start your evaluationWhat does it cost to talk to you?
Nothing. Your case evaluation is free and confidential, and injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. No win, no fee, so you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Do I have to live in Illinois to work with you?
No. FELA is federal law, and we represent injured railroaders and their families across the country, wherever the railroad put you to work.
How long do I have to file a FELA claim?
Generally three years from the date of injury, or from when you knew an illness was connected to your work. Evidence disappears much faster than that, so talking to a lawyer early protects your claim.
Should I give a statement to the railroad’s claim agent?
Talk to a lawyer before you give a recorded statement or sign anything. The claim agent works for the railroad, and what you say in the first days can shape your entire claim.
