Railroad
Workers Lawyers

Established Chicago Railroad Workers Attorney

Railroad workers are protected by the Federal Employee Liability Act, and our veteran Illinois personal injury attorneys have handled plenty of cases involving injuries to railroad workers. If you get injured while at work due to the carelessness or negligence of coworkers or foremen, or due to malfunctioning equipment, you are eligible to receive money to pay for lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation, and even psychological therapy.

When people think about injuries involving railroads, they most likely think about the case of Phineas Gage, who was a 19th century railroad worker. After an ill-timed explosion went off, a tamping iron went through Gage’s skull, completely piercing his brain. Amazingly, he wasn’t killed, but the injury altered his personality greatly, turning him from a likeable gentleman to an aggressive, despondent man.

Though some Chicago railroad injuries occur in the blink of an eye and have devastating results, many do not and instead develop over time. Many railroad workers become injured slowly and over the course of years of service. Their injuries may include soft tissue damage, strained backs, ligament damage, and exposure to industrial toxins, solvents, and particulate matter. All of these can knock even the strongest, healthiest person off of their pillar, resulting in debilitating injuries that can cause a stack of medical bills, suffering, and even untimely death.
