Traps for Injured Workers to Avoid

Railroad’s Campaign To Intimidate Workers Into Not Filing Accident Reports

New FRA rules are cracking down, but we know the pressure is still on you. We can help by educating you as to when and how you should file your case. We will represent you even if you have not filed an accident report as long as there is evidence of injury and fault of the railroad.

Money From The Claims Agent

Claims agents will offer "advances" so that the railroad can keep you under its control. Those monthly payments require that you get treated by company approved doctors and that you not hire a lawyer. There is no such thing as a free lunch, however! The railroad will recover its money when your case settles, but you will spend a year with company doctors and no lawyer. A year from now you will have used up your RRB sick benefits, have no lawsuit filed and be cut off from the "loans" by the company. You must escape this trap! There are loan companies who will lend living expenses to injured workers, and we can help you get benefits to which you are entitled. Don’t put yourself in the "caring" hands of the people who hurt you in the first place.

Nurse Consultant

The nurse consultant wants you to go to company doctors. You should have the right to go to a doctor of your choice. We will recommend doctors who treat railroad workers and understand the requirements of the jobs.
