Q: Shouldn't I wait a little while before getting an attorney to see if I can work through my injury or see if it will go away?

A: No. It does not pay to wait to obtain legal advice. Even if your claim ends up being a small one, or one that you decide not bring at all, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury. In FELA cases, proper handling of your case from the very beginning is as important as obtaining proper medical care, because your rights need to be protected. Many times evidence disappears or witnesses' memories fade while you wait. In the meantime, the railroad is doing everything it can to defeat your claim. Also, there are time limits to bring a lawsuit. If a case isn't filed in time, you lose your right to bring your claim.
