Tort Reform
FELA
If you work for a railroad, and are injured on-the-job, then your right to be compensated for those injuries is covered by a very specific law entitled the Federal Employer's Liability Act. Your right to recovery and compensation for your injuries is different from State Workers' Compensation laws, which generally cover all other injured employees. Inserra Law Office has over 85 combined years of experience in handling railroad injury cases.
ACCIDENT CLAIMS
If you have been injured in an automobile accident, motorcycle accident, railroad-crossing accident, injured by a defective product, or any other type of personal injury, you may have a negligence case. Negligence cases are traditionally decided by a jury. Most negligence cases place the burden of proving the case and damages on the injured person. Inserra Law Offices has obtained millions of dollars in trial verdicts or settlements in these types of cases.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
State laws exist in every state mandating compensation for employees who are injured on-the-job. Each state has its own workers' compensation act. While the framework of the acts is similar, each state has different payment amounts, payment schedules, and other requirements. Inserra Law Offices has tried or settled more than 1,000 workers' compensation cases in the State of Nebraska.
