What Railroad Claim Agents Won't Tell You (But You Must Know)
Sometime during 2007 Norfolk Southern (NS) Railway Company issued a manual that the company's claims representatives are routinely mailing, or giving, to railroad workers that suffer injuries or diseases on the job. Injuries and diseases that may be the subject of compensation and a potential claim.
The lawyers and investigators at our firm have reviewed this brochure and assure potential clients and other railroad workers that this manual is so full of inaccuracies and misleading statements that it requires a full and complete rebuttal from railroad injury lawyers who regularly represent injured workers, based on decades of real experience dealing with NS.
