Question:
If I’m Injured on the Job While Working on the Railroad, What Should I Do?Answer:
If you’re injured on the job while you’re working for the railroad, the number one thing you need to do is give notice. The railroad and the union will oftentimes have notice requirements that a person who suffers an injury needs to give notice immediately. There is oftentimes a lot of pressure put onto railroad employees not to report an injury. Any injury that is reported to a railroad has to be passed on the FRA, and the railroads oftentimes make an effort to try to minimize or keep down the amount of reportable injuries.
It’s not uncommon for us to talk to a railroad worker who’s been injured and has delayed two or three days to even report their injury because of pressure they’re receiving at work. If you’ve been injured on the job, while working for a railroad, it is important that you give immediate notice to your supervisor, or, at a minimum, to one of your coworkers.
If you have any questions about a situation you may find yourself in while working for the railroad, please give us a call. I’d be happy to answer any questions that you have.
