Rail workers are covered by a unique law, the Federal Employers' Liability Act. The only way you get compensated by your carrier is by proving your claim. ## WE’RE IN THE YARD Railroad is our world. We don’t write wills or do DWIs. We know what it means to work on a live rail and how careers can end because of carrier negligence. ## WE GO TO TRIAL We’re not litigators. We’re trial attorneys. We take verdicts and we win because we work harder, worry more and have confidence in juries. ## WHISTLEBLOWER LAW We have more FRSA whistleblower verdicts than any attorney in the country. Every one has included punitive damages for the railroad worker. ## WE’RE RIDER ADVOCATES Passengers injured in accidents and the families of those who die have no inside knowledge of how the railroad operates. We’re on the inside everyday and we can help them. ## WE RIDE TOO Trains crash and people die. But it could be prevented. We are a voice for change in the industry both for workers and passengers, pushing carriers to count safety before dollars. ![](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FELA_Injury_Case_Study_Mockup_v2.png?width=320&name=FELA_Injury_Case_Study_Mockup_v2.png "FELA_Injury_Case_Study_Mockup_v2.png")Worker wins $3.75 million after he receives a lifelong eye injury on the job caused by a railroad that cut corners on safety. ### Download the FELA Injury Case Study ### About Us ![Flynn Wietzke FELA injury attorneys](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fw-fela-logo-drkbkg.png?width=504&name=fw-fela-logo-drkbkg.png "Flynn Wietzke FELA injury attorneys") Railroad lawyer Marc Wietzke focuses on FELA injury and whistleblower law for railroad workers injured or punished on the job. ### Services - [Home](https://www.felaattorney.com/) - [About Us](https://www.felaattorney.com/about-us) - [Wins](https://www.felaattorney.com/wins) - [Blog](https://www.felaattorney.com/blog) - [Contact Us](https://www.felaattorney.com/contact-us) ### From Blog --- ### Main Office 1205 Franklin Avenue, Garden City, NY 11530 T: (516) 877-1234 • F: (516) 877-1177 *With offices throughout the country [![Super Lawyers since 2014](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/new-fela-super-lawyers-logo-white-since-2014.png?width=150&height=150&name=new-fela-super-lawyers-logo-white-since-2014.png)](http://profiles.superlawyers.com/new-york-metro/garden-city/lawyer/marc-wietzke/11f74a17-3aee-4c7b-98a7-8a2f7803ab57.html) [![Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/multimillion-dollar-advocates-forum.png?width=150&height=150&name=multimillion-dollar-advocates-forum.png)](http://milliondollaradvocates.com/) [![ARLA](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/arla-footer.png?width=150&height=150&name=arla-footer.png)](http://www.arladepot.org/officers.html) [![10 Best Attorney 2017 American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ten-best-attorney.png?width=150&height=150&name=ten-best-attorney.png)](http://aiopia.org/) [![Best Attorney of America Lifetime Charter Member](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/best-attorney-of-america-lifetime-charter-member.png?width=150&height=150&name=best-attorney-of-america-lifetime-charter-member.png)](https://www.bestattorneysofamerica.com/) [![Best Law Firms of America Lifetime Member](https://www.felaattorney.com/hs-fs/hubfs/best-law-firms-of-america-footer.png?width=150&height=150&name=best-law-firms-of-america-footer.png)](https://bestlawfirmsofamerica.com/) --- ***ATTORNEY ADVERTISING - ***Prior results don’t guarantee a similar outcome in your claim.
