In a railroad crossing accident, there are many questions which must be answered. Did the crossing have lights and/or a functioning gate? Were the flashers confusing? Did a parked train or foliage obstruct your view? Even if you are injured as a passenger on a train, many questions arise and the railroad companies are often unwilling to provide necessary information about accidents occurring on or near railways.
In addition, railroad employees face serious risks of injury while on the job. Although railroad employees are not covered under workers’ compensation insurance, the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (FELA) is a Federal law addressing railroad workers injury compensation.
