Get started NowFederal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA)
The FELA is a federal law that gives railroad employees the right to recover damages from their employers for on-the-job injuries caused by the railroad’s negligence.
Locomotive Inspection Act (aka Boiler Act)
The Locomotive Inspection Act was created to ensure locomotives being used by the railroad are safe. When an unsafe locomotive is used, the results can be catastrophic to railroad workers’ health and safety. Unsafe locomotives put railroad workers at risk of injury and death.
Whistleblower Protection/OSHA
The Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA) was amended to transfer authority for railroad carrier worker whistleblower protections to OSHA and to include new rights, remedies and procedures.

Client Testimonials
Great firm for representation, I was very grateful to work with this group of Lawyers. Authentic, straight to the point, and honest. Great Firm
Working with the Youngdahl Law Firm in my OSHA Whistleblower Case went as smoothly and efficiently as I could have ever imagined. Sara Youngdahl and her team were professional and reassuring. At the very first meeting with Sara, my wife and I had all our questions answered and felt confident in our decision to move forward with her firm. We were right!
I want to thank you all for all your help with my case. I truly felt like I was part of the "Youngdahl Family." Donna and Ms. Youngdahl always made me feel very comfortable and showed nothing but compassion and concern while I worked with them. The entire year after my accident I knew I could call them for any questions or advice that I may have had. Thank you again for your help. My family and I truly appreciate it.
My wife and I were glad the Youngdahl Law Firm was in our corner! I would have been hurt, fired, and broke without representation from the Youngdahl Law Firm.
The legal assistance that I received from Sara Youngdahl was professional and personal. She cared about my legal needs as well as my needs as a person. Her staff was very knowledgeable about every aspect of my case. Sara Youngdahl and her staff is a cut above all standards in her field of excellence. Caring about the rights of people.
