My railroad injury has occurred because of years of cumulative work and repeated motions. It was not the result of a single accident. Could I still recover damages, and should I still contact a New York FELA lawyer?
The answer to both of your question is yes. You may still recover damages for your railroad accident injuries, and you should contact a New York FELA lawyer if you’ve been injured in a New York or New Jersey railroad accident.Railroad workers are at particular risk of suffering from cumulative injuries because of the nature of their work. Cumulative injuries can be as serious as acute injuries that happen in a single accident.
The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) gives injured railroad workers the right to sue their employers if they are injured on-the-job. FELA damages may include compensation for cumulative injuries are not limited to acute injuries.
If you have suffered a cumulative injury because of your repeated work on the railroad, then you may be entitled to damages. However, your employer may not readily provide you with the compensation that you deserve. For that reason, it is important to contact an experienced New York FELA attorney to learn more about your rights and so that your New York City FELA lawyer can advocate for your fair and just recovery.
