Railroad Injuries Litigation
If you or a loved one was injured in a train collision you may be entitled to compensation. These damages can include past and future medical expenses as well as lost wages, permanent disability, disfigurement, and lost wages.
Federal law FELA (Federal Employers' Liability Act), protects railroad workers. It provides monetary compensation for suffering and pain which are not provided under state laws on workers' compensation.
Prompt Reporting
An injury claim that isn't disclosed can have a major impact on an employee's capacity to receive medical treatment. NCCI research has found that the longer an injury remains unreported, the greater the probability that a claim could remain unpaid and open.
Railroads are required to ensure that their employees have secure workplaces and that all their equipment and tools are safely employed. The railroad has the right to claim damages against an employee when it fails to comply with this obligation.
The majority of railroads have safety regulations that require employees to report any accident that causes injuries. However, it's usually difficult to get an injured worker to report the injury. In these situations, it is imperative that the employee notify the injured party immediately and seek legal advice from an attorney.
Railroads must ensure that employees are protected at work, and provide timely and effective medical treatment. Prompt medical treatment can prevent injuries from becoming severe and costly to treat.
Additionally under FELA, railroads are obliged to pay for the cost of all medical treatment offered to employees who are injured while working. This includes transport to and from doctors' offices, prescription medications and treatment for any resulting mental or physical conditions.
The railroad must keep all of these records along with any other evidence it collects during the investigation and handling of a claim. Failure to comply with the railroad's rules can result in serious disciplinary action including the termination of the employment.
Federal Railroad Safety Act is another important federal law that safeguards railroad workers. According to this law, it is unlawful for a railroad to take a negative action against a railway worker who is engaged in "protected activities," which include whistleblowing.
If you have been a whistleblower, or are being targeted for retaliation because of your actions, get in touch with Rossi Vucinovich PC right away. Our knowledgeable attorneys can help fight railroad retaliation.
Railroads must provide an adequate amount of time to report any accident or other incident that involves employees to the FRA (National Transportation Safety Board) (NTSB). Although the majority of railroads are diligent in reporting, it's not common for accidents or incidents to occur that aren't required to be reported.
FELA
In the United States, railroad workers are protected under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). This law was established to protect workers from deaths or injuries by shifting the economic burden off of individual employees and onto railroads.
FELA stipulates legal obligations that all railroad companies must fulfill, such as providing safe workplaces as well as properly training employees, inspecting for dangers and enforcing safety guidelines. Failure to adhere to these rules could result in railroad companies being held liable for negligence.
While FELA is a useful tool for protecting injured workers, it comes with its own set-of challenges. First, a worker must demonstrate that the railroad was negligent and that their actions caused their injury. This is usually easier in an FELA case than in a traditional personal injury lawsuit.
A railroad employee must prove that their employer has breached any safety regulations or laws of the state or federal. A railroad injuries lawyer that violates any of these laws could easily establish that it caused the injury and is therefore accountable under the FELA.
Railroad workers must be able to prove that their injury is permanent. This is crucial because an injury that is permanent is typically more valuable than one that is not.
Furthermore, many types of workplace accidents can cause permanent damage that lasts for a long time, including traumatizing injuries such as broken bones or muscles, lacerations, pulled muscles and joint strains. Repetitive motion injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis may also aggravate or accelerate existing medical ailments.
When you're faced with an extensive, complicated and possibly costly claim against railroads, it is important to work with an experienced FELA attorney. A typical personal injury attorney who isn't an expert in this field will be overwhelmed by the amount of resources and experience that railroads have in place behind the case.
Comparative Negligence
In railroad injuries litigation, one of the most important questions is the person who was at fault in an accident. It may be difficult to apportion blame in certain cases however, with the help of comparative negligence, the parties are able to work together to a correct conclusion which will benefit both.
Comparative negligence allows for the parties involved in car accidents to share responsibility in proportion to the amount they contributed to the accident. This makes it easier for you to calculate the damages in the event of multi-car collisions and pile-up accidents.
A driver who fails or refuses to obey traffic laws, such as stop signs, could be held accountable under a comparative negligence rule. This is particularly helpful in railroad injuries litigation where the failure of the company to properly maintain or repair its equipment could be considered a contributing factor to the injury suffered by the injured worker.
Three kinds of comparative negligence exist in the United States: modified, pure and contributory. All three are applicable in some way, but the most common is the modified method.
A modified comparative negligence system can allow an injured party to claim the amount they owe, provided that the percentage of fault is not more than 50% or is greater than the percentage of another defendant or group. In most states this rule is only applicable to personal injury claims and wrongful death claims.
This system is based on a theory of neglect and examines the four components of negligence: duty breach, breach, duty care and causation. An experienced attorney must demonstrate these elements in order to obtain a favorable result for the plaintiff.
Unlike contributory negligence, which is only recognized in five states Pure comparative negligence is the norm in all states. This rule allows an injured party to claim compensation even if they are determined to be 99% at fault. This is referred to as pure comparative negligence in New York. Only thirteen other states have it.
Damages
Railroad workers are entitled to compensation in the event of being injured while working. The law that governs workers' rights is known as the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
An employee has to prove that the employer was negligent in FELA cases. If that is the situation, the employee may be compensated for medical expenses along with lost wages and other damages.
In contrast to state workers' comp systems, which use damage caps to limit the amount of compensation an employee can receive, FELA allows an injured worker to be compensated for all non-economic and financial losses. This includes pain, suffering as well as loss of enjoyment, emotional distress, disability and other losses.
The damages that railroad workers may claim depend on the nature of the injury or death. If the train driver is killed in an accident on the tracks and family members can sue the railroad for wrongful death and damages for loss of companionship or support.
If the train driver is killed through the negligence of another person the party responsible can be held responsible for the death. This could be a car operator or owner or pedestrian or even the driver's family members.
The employer could also be held accountable in the event that a railway worker gets injured while working on a track or train. The employer could also be held accountable if the worker was under the influence of alcohol or other drugs at the time of the accident which could result in increased risk of injury.
There are also some specific federal laws that pertain to railway safety, including the Boiler Inspection Act and the Railroad Safety Act. These laws establish the standards of safety for trains and rail cars.
For example For instance, the Railroad Safety Act requires that railroads inspect their trains in order to make sure that they operate safely and in accordance with their specifications. This is done to ensure the safety and welfare of the general public when trains travel on tracks.
