Our veteran Illinois personal injury attorneys have tackled a number of testing cases involving injuries to railroad workers. Railroad employees are protected by the Federal Employee Liability Act. If you’ve been hurt on the job due to malfunctioning equipment or the carelessness or negligence of fellow workers or foremen, you can get money to pay for rehabilitation, lost wages, pain and suffering, and even psychological therapy.

When most of people think of railroad injuries, they conjure up images of people like Phineas Gage. Mr. Gage was a 19th century railroad worker who took a tamping iron through his skill after an ill-timed explosion went off. The spike completely pierced his brain, but amazingly it didn’t kill him. It did, however, alter his personality, changing him from an affable gentleman into a despondent aggressor.

But while some Chicago railroad injuries occur in a flash and result in acute devastation, not all do. Many rail workers get injured slowly, over the course of years of service. Strained backs, ligament and soft tissue damage, and exposure to industrial toxins, solvents, and particulate matter can all result in debilitating injuries that can knock even the stoutest men off the tracks and lead to the accumulation of massive medical bills, suffering and ultimately even death.
