Illinois FELA Lawyers Protecting Railroad Workers

Experienced Illinois FELA lawyers ensure that injured railroad workers are adequately compensated for their Amtrak injuries. The Federal Employers’ Liability Act was specifically designed to protect wronged railroad workers including those with Amtrak injuries. Because this law is complex, it is critical to hire Illinois FELA lawyers with litigating experience in both state and federal courts.

The FELA lawyers of Lipkin & Higgins understand the complexities of the law. Our FELA lawyers represent engineers, brakemen, switchmen and other railroad employees -- to ensure they are appropriately compensated for on-the-job railroad injuries.

To be compensated for Amtrak injuries you need qualified legal help

Lipkin & Higgins' experienced FELA lawyers recognize the differences between FELA and state worker’s compensation law. Qualified Illinois FELA lawyers know that in order to compensate victims with Amtrak injuries, they need to demonstrate that the railroad caused or contributed to these Amtrak injuries. Under state worker’s compensation law, no such proof is required.

The lawyers at Lipkin & Higgins are experienced with recovering damages for their clients’ Amtrak injuries.  The first step is establishing negligence on the part of the railroad. 

The filing party must demonstrate that the railroad failed to provide a reasonably safe place to work. By filing, our attorneys know that their clients’ compensation for their Amtrak injuries will be far greater than they would be under regular compensation law.

While not every case goes to trial, the attorneys at Lipkin & Higgins will work hard to ensure that every railroad worker is compensated adequately for his or her injuries.
