Charles Goetsch has been protecting injured railroad workers and prosecuting false claims and whistleblower retaliation for decades. If you have been injured by a railroad, suffered retaliation for blowing the whistle, or have knowledge of false claims against the government, you can rely on him to protect your interests.
The FELA provides compensation for injured railroad workers. The FRSA prohibits railroads from retaliating against workers who report an injury or safety concern. False Claims Act, any individual with knowledge of fraud involving governmental monies such as Medicare or federal contracts has the potential to recover large awards, but only if he or she follows very special procedures.

Sometimes employees are in the difficult position of dealing with an injury or needing to report an employer for fraud or other wrongdoing. When your livelihood is at stake, it can be hard to know how to proceed, especially if you think your employer might retaliate. Charles Goetsch is a strong advocate for injured railroad workers, victims of whistleblower retaliation and false claims relators.
Have you been injured by a railroad? Railroad workers who are injured or killed on the job do not have workers' compensation. Instead, they are covered by a special federal law, the Federal Employers Liability Act, or FELA. For over 40 years, attorney Charlie Goetsch has been protecting injured railroad workers under the FELA.
The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) covers rail workers who are injured or killed on the job. It is not a workers' compensation law. It was enacted by Teddy Roosevelt in 1908 to protect rail workers who are negligently injured on the job. The FELA requires all railroads to provide their employees with a reasonably safe place to work.
Employees in many industries are protected from retaliation for whistleblowing activities. Subway workers are protected by the National Transit Systems Security Act (NTSSA), and merchant marine seamen are protected by the Seaman's Protection Act (SPA). Both are similar to the Federal Rail Safety Act, which prohibits all railroads from retaliating against workers who engage in certain "protected activities."
All railroad workers are protected by the Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA), which prohibits all railroads from retaliating against workers who blow the whistle on safety, injuries or fraud. Subway workers are protected by the National Transit Systems Security Act (NTSSA), and merchant mariners are protected by the Seaman's Protection Act (SPA).

Mr. Goetsch is quiet knowledgeable in this very special field of Transportation in both the Rail Road and Public Transit areas. Mr. Goetsch is a seasoned attorney with a high integrity for the law. Charlie had taken my case when no other attorney was willing to spend the time that it would take for representation, he is truly a voice for the little man. Thanks Charlie.

Attorney Goetsch represented me regarding a whistleblower complaint filed against a U.S. Government agency where I was wrongfully terminated for my whistleblower activities. Consequently, as a direct result of Attorney Goetsch’s hard work and diligence, I was able to prevail after OSHA investigated the complaint. OSHA ordered that I be reinstated to my former position with all back pay. I had been out of work for over five years. Without Attorney Goetsch’s knowledge of the law, and especially the intricacies of Federal Railroad Law, it would have been very difficult for me to prevail against
