Work Injury / Workers’ Compensation
If you or a loved one have suffered a serious work injury, we can help!
About the process
Injured railroad workers are covered under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). They are NOT covered by Workers’ Compensation and are NOT entitled to automatically recover damages. Instead, injured railroad workers must prove the railroad was negligent in failing to furnish a reasonably safe work place and/or the proper equipment for work.
You will have large medical bills and lost wages from being off of work for long periods of time while disabled. Workers’ compensation may pay for some of the medical bills and lost wages, but workers’ compensation cannot adequately compensate you for permanent injuries and disability. A third party, such as a manufacturer of a defective product or machine, may be responsible to compensate you, as well. The incident needs to be immediately investigated by a work injury attorney – working to protect your rights and interests.
