Recovering for Cold Weather Related New Jersey and New York Railroad Accident Injuries

Many people in New York and New Jersey depend on trains and railroad workers.  Whether we commute or travel by train, the railroad is an important part of our transportation network.  We expect the trains to run in almost any kind of weather; thus, we expect railroad workers to work in almost any kind of weather.  However, that expectation does not protect railroad employers from liability if a worker is injured in a weather related work accident.

Many cold-weather related accidents can be prevented if workers are provided with warm clothes, the chance to warm up in heated areas, and if their exposure to the elements is limited.
