Seattle Railroad Work Accident Lawyer
Serious injuries can occur when doing railroad work. Railway cars weigh many tons and can carry many tons of freights. Workers who do work loading, unloading, disconnecting, connecting, and cleaning rail cars are at risk.
Fighting For the Seriously Injured
The attorneys at Bishop Legal protect and fight for the rights of seriously injured railroad workers. We handle cases involving injuries of the neck, head, including traumatic brain injuries, back, knee, shoulder, hip, burns, broken bones, other internal or catastrophic injuries. We also represent the deceased in the tragic event of a negligent death resulting from a railroad work accident.
Our law firm represent clients all over Washington State, Montana and others States. We provide caring, attentive representation allowing clients to focus on your recovery and the many other challenges they are facing, emotionally and financially, in addition to their physical injuries.
Railroad Workers Have Special Protection Under The Law
The right of injured railroad workers to receive compensation for injuries suffered while working is different than other occupations. An industry-specific law called the “Federal Employers Liability Act” (FELA) covers the rights of injured railroad workers.
Under this law, injured railroad workers can sue for damages caused by the employer’s negligence or carelessness in state or federal court. The benefits available to injured railroad workers are typically much more robust than in other occupations.

“Bishop Legal helped me so much to get what I needed after a car accident. I’ve seen other friends works with different attorneys for similar situations and their experience was no where near as great as how I was taken care of with Bishop.
