So I Walked Under A Bus, I Got Hit By A Train!

Assignments are few and far between these days... so when I finally managed to see one today, I was ecstaticparty. I grabbed it right away before someone else took it. I'm sure my fellow blogger friends who are in the same boat share my feelings about the lack of assignments these days. So, please don't mind me while I write about FELA today ya.

Now if you're wondering what FELA is well, it's definitely not that furniture company okay. FELA is actually the Federal Employer's Liability Act. Now just what is the Federal Employer's Liability Act Lawyers?confused

Well, let's just say that you're working for the railroad company and happen to get run over by a train, urrrmmm, maybe not run over but just injured. You'd probably need some good lawyers with a working knowledge in the provisions of the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) which basically governs your right to recovery.

What FELA does is that they establish a specific process for recovery and identify the sort of damages that you may recover cos you can bet your bottom dollar that the railroad company will try to blame you for your injury and would do everything in their power to try to pay you nothing or even next to nothing!

So, if you're really hit by a train (god forbid) then the best place to look for some fela attorneys would be at gordon-elias.com as they have been around since 2000 and possess the knowhow, experience and resources to pursue recovery from large corporate defendants, as well as big insurance companies.

But just to be on the safe side, don't go playing on railroad tracks or anything like that to begin withshameonyou. Ok, now that I've got that out of the way I'm going to wish you guys a great Tuesday!
