FELA For Railroad Workers
Railroad workers often have the option to pursue compensation for injuries under an industry-specific law. Unlike workers' comp, this railroad injury law could provide access to non-economic awards, such as those that compensate for pain and suffering.
However, the railroad-specific system has an added layer of complexity - the necessity to prove fault. Railroad workers must demonstrate that they are not completely responsible for their injuries.
Railroads often try to shift the blame to injured workers. It is our job to help the truth come to light.
Jones Act For Maritime Workers
Sailors typically also have access to a different route for compensation for their injuries. This could include people who work on inland rivers and lakes for as little as 30% of their schedules.
Eligibility might not be immediately obvious. However, it is often advantageous to prove it if possible.
Workers under the sailor-specific law are often entitled to significantly higher awards than they would be under workers' compensation. Our law firm secured one of the highest judgments in history under this law: 35 million dollars.
Personal Injury Law For Other Situations
The Wilkins Law Firm LLC also handles a variety of personal injury cases. These include car accidents, nursing home injuries, commercial trucking crashes, brain injuries, birth injuries, animal bites, premises injuries (slips and falls), product liability and wrongful death. We offer free initial consultations with no obligation.
