When a railroad employee is injured on the job, it can often be a serious or career-ending event. The Federal Employers Liability Act (“FELA”) is a special law that was passed by Congress almost 100 years ago to hold the railroad industry to account for the “limbs and lives that it consumes in its operation every day.” Although working conditions are far improved, there is no question that railroading is still a dangerous occupation.
If you developed any asbestos-related cancer or another asbestos-related disease after you worked with or near asbestos as a contract worker, you need to contact our lawyers at Roven-Kaplan.
