Special Claims

Riverboat & railroad worker injuries.

It can be dangerous working on the railroad or a riverboat, and even the most safety-conscious employer can fail to anticipate conditions that lead to a malfunction, derailment, or another accident.


If you've been injured working on a riverboat or the railroad, you're protected not through workers' compensation but under The Jones Act and the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), respectively. In any case, there is no limit to your recovery, and you may be fully compensated for both medical expenses and lost wages.


Drawing on some 120 years of combined experience Little, Schellhammer & Richardson Law Offices, P.C. can help you determine if you qualify for these special protections.
