What Drives Railroad Worker Injury Claims
Railroad work is dangerous and hazardous. Employees can suffer traumatic injuries, neurological damage, or long-term health problems. Fortunately, the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) grants injured workers the right to seek company accountability. If you’ve experienced any of the following situations, you may be eligible for compensation.
Traumatic Injuries
Severe falls or yard accidents can cause fractures or head trauma.
Amputations and Crush Injuries
An employee may lose limbs due to accidents or failed equipment.
Burn Injuries
Burns from electrical hazards, fires, or chemical spills can leave physical scars.
Repetitive Stress Injuries
Repeated movements like heavy lifting and vibration can damage joints, muscles, and nerves.
Occupational Illnesses
Studies show that exposure to diesel, asbestos, or toxins can cause cancer and lung disease.
Neurological Damage
Employees may experience tremors and memory loss due to long-term chemical contact.
Hearing Loss
Engines and machinery noise can cause permanent hearing problems.
Psychological Trauma
Experiencing severe accidents and unsafe conditions can cause mental health issues.
Fatal Railroad Accidents
Families may file claims after a loved one dies due to an unsafe work environment.
