Railroad Accidents and FELA Lawyers

Railroad injuries are often serious and require extensive medical treatment.  If you have been injured either as a train passenger or while working for a railroad, you are not alone.  The railroad injury attorneys at Goldstein and Bashner are experienced in handling train accident cases and can help you with your case.  Our law firm has gained the support of Local 589, a division of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union due to our strong record of helping injured railroad workers receive compensation for their injuries. 

Contact Goldstein & Bashner today at (888) NYLAW12 for a free, no obligation case evaluation.

The New York Metro Area has hundreds of thousands of train riders each day between the Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North, PATH, Amtrak, and New York City subways. Passenger injuries are often due to train accidents, falling in a gap, slipping and falling on the train or in the station, or being hit by a train.

Common railroad worker injuries include electrical explosions, falls from substantial heights and back injuries due to unsafe work practices by the railroad. Railroad employees are protected under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), which provides full compensation if the railroad was negligent.  Compensation available under FELA is usually a lot higher than what is provided through New York Workers' Compensation Law for non-railroad workers. In order to have a successful FELA claim, you need to take immediate action.  Contact an experienced FELA lawyer at Goldstein & Bashner as soon as possible and we will help you build a strong case so that you can recover compensation for your injuries. 
Whether you are an injured passenger or worker, as a client of Goldstein & Bashner, you will be represented by a railroad injury attorney who will take your case personally.  We measure the success of our law firm by the well-being of our clients.  Our attorneys know what it is like to be affected by a serious injury, as we have witnessed family members being forced to cope with disabilities.  So not only are you being represented by a lawyer who is experienced and has a strong track record of winning railroad injury cases, you are also working with someone who cares about what you are going through and you can trust.

We have created a book that will help you navigate through the confusing legal process following a railroad injury.  Finding a Qualified Accident Lawyer covers everything you need to know following a personal injury, such as:

• Finding the right attorney
• Understanding the legal process
• Steps in personal injury cases

 
The FELA/Railroad Accident lawyers at Goldstein & Bashner have nearly 40 years of combined experience.  We have offices conveniently located in Manhattan and Long Island.  Contact us today at (888) NYLAW12 for a free legal consultation.
