What Railroad Claim Agents Won't Tell You (But You Must Know)
Sometime during 2007 Norfolk Southern (NS) Railway Company issued a manual that the company's claims representatives are routinely mailing, or giving, to railroad workers that suffer injuries or diseases on the job-but what you need to know applies on every railroad, not just NS. Railroad/FELA injuries and diseases may be the subject of compensation and a potential claim.
The lawyers and investigators at our law firm have reviewed this railroad brochure and assure potential clients and other railroad workers that this railroad claims/law department manual is so full of inaccuracies and misleading statements that it requires a full and complete rebuttal from railroad/FELA injury lawyers who regularly represent injured workers, based on decades of real experience dealing with NS, CSX, Amtrak, Conrail and other railroads.
