    Question:

    Do I Have to Give My Supervisor or the Claim Agent a Written or Taped Statement?

    video featuring Wrongful Death Attorney Michael Knobloch

    Answer:

    One of the questions that we often hear from railroad employees that are injured on the job is, “Do I have to give a statement, and do I have to fill out an accident report?” The question can be a difficult one to answer depending upon what your collective bargaining agreement requires for you. In other words, what has the union agreed to on your behalf in terms of your cooperation with the railroad investigating the accident? In addition, there are some federal forms that may or may not need to be filled out in order to properly follow federal law, in terms of an on-the-job railroad injury.

    For all of these reasons, if you find yourself having suffered an injury while working for the railroad, before you make any statements or fill out any paperwork, you should call an attorney that has experience handling railroad cases. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. We’ll be happy to answer your questions.
