Co-Worker Caused Railroad
Injury
The acts of another employee are considered the acts of the
railroad. If a railroad employee, even your own crew member, does
something that causes you to be injured, then the railroad legally
caused the injury. Examples:
1. If an engine starts moving without a signal and an employee
is injured, the railroad legally caused the injury.
2. If an employee fails to give appropriate instruction/warning
about a coupling and the other employee is injured, the railroad
legally caused the injury.
3. If a supervisor sends two crews into the same track and causes
injuries, the railroad legally caused the injury.
4. If a track machine runs into another track machine and causes
injuries; the railroad legally caused the injury.
The examples are too many to list, but generally, if one rail employee
causes injury to another, the railroad legally caused the injury
and must pay for the injuries.
Railroad workers can collect for injuries by contacting
the law firm of Wilson & Hajek.
