There is hardly a job in existence more dangerous than working for the railroad. Tragically, railroad employees are twice as likely to die at work than the average American.
On a daily basis, railroad workers use and encounter heavy machinery while moving ballast, switching cars, setting trains, inspecting tanks and hoppers, and performing any number of other functions that are inherently dangerous. Performing these functions inevitably leads to a high number of injuries. While some workers suffer amputations, burns, and illnesses like lung cancer, lead poisoning, and benzene-related leukemia, others suffer less severe injuries such as back strains, development of carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, and gradual hearing loss.
Regardless of how minor or severe your injury is, it is important to remember thatsimply by working for the railroad you are entitled to compensation through the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) as long as some amount of employer negligence contributed to the injury.

I worked with Alex Robertson on an insurance claim after Ida Hurricane damage. Alex went above and beyond to help me get the funds I needed to repair the damage to my home. He was professional and efficient. I would highly recommend Marcelle Robertson Mestayer to handle your business in the future.
The BEST. THEY CHANGED MY LIFE. I was referred so I knew I could trust them right away but the accident I was in wasn’t labeled fault for the other person at first and this company fought for me with ease. Even successfully brought to my attention the benefits I had with my coverage I didn’t know I had. I’ll forever be grateful. Thank you Brian and Ashley for everything. Ashley was super attentive and had my best interest at heart and it was felt. Will always refer people from here on out.
