If You're A Railroader with a Disability, Lean On Our Experience in the Law ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Railroads Are Not Paying For Many Railroaders' Disabilities Railroaders with injuries or diseases caused by their jobs might be eligible for financial payments under the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (FELA), or for Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits. Many railroaders now receiving occupational disability benefits might be eligible for permanent disability benefits, which could mean more money, lower income taxes, and early Medicare eligibility. Railroads don’t often offer to pay for an injury or disease for which they are responsible. You have to file a claim, and that can be a complicated process. Waiting too long to contact an attorney could lead to problems that make it impossible to recover any money. Do You Have An Injury or Disease Caused By your Railroad Job? Here are some of the typical injuries and diseases that railroaders get from the job: Lung disease, mesothelioma and cancer from asbestos exposure Nerve injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome caused by cumulative trauma or repetitive motion Diseases such as cancer, memory loss, or depression caused by exposure to toxic chemicals Traumatic accidents in the line of work We Can Help No Matter Where You Live Robert Peirce & Associates has decades of experience helping railroaders living all over the United States get the compensation they deserve for their work-related injuries and diseases.
