Question:
Should I Speak to the Insurance Company?Answer:
When a railroad worker reports an injury, there are a lot of different steps that are taken either by the claims manager or anyone trying to represent or defend the railroad. It’s not uncommon for us to hear about railroad workers being asked to perform reenactments, to go out and agree to take photographs basically reenacting how they were injured. It’s not uncommon for us to hear about different parts or things on the railroad that disappear because either a claims manager or someone in a supervisory role has changed or altered the scene.
Anytime you’re injured, it is important to report it. If you have a camera that’s available, take pictures of any of the conditions that you see. Call your union steward, if you have one. If you are able to, you need to call the union steward to make sure that you’re being protected as called for in your labor agreement. Oftentimes they will try to take recorded statements from you, try to get you to do a reenactment or even threaten to bring you up on charges if you don’t cooperate.
After you’ve called your union steward, you should call a lawyer. You need to call a lawyer that has experience handling railroad workers’ injury cases. If you have any questions about a situation you may find yourself in, please give us a call. We’d be happy to answer any questions that you have.
