What Compensation Is Available After a Railroad Amputation in Louisiana?
A railroad amputation injury can result in a lifetime of medical needs, lost income, and emotional hardship. Federal law under FELA (Federal Employers’ Liability Act) for railroad workers may entitle you to pursue substantial financial compensation from the railroad company and other negligent parties.
An experienced attorney with knowledge of FELA can help you identify every category of damages available in your case, including:
- Medical expenses: Past and future medical bills, including surgery, hospitalization, prosthetics, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
- Lost wages and earning capacity: Compensation for income you have already lost and the wages you may never be able to earn again due to your amputation
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress (including post-traumatic stress disorder), and the psychological impact of living with limb loss
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Damages for the activities, hobbies, and experiences you can no longer participate in
- Disability and disfigurement: Recognition of the permanent, life-altering nature of a severe injury
- Wrongful death damages: If a railroad amputation injury resulted in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members may be entitled to pursue compensation on their behalf.
Poolson | Oden doesn’t just represent victims of amputations. We can also assist railroad workers who have suffered from traumatic brain injuries, burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more.
