NON-RAILROAD WORKER FALLS OFF OF CAR

Industry worker is working on top of railroad car, brakes fail to hold and car starts to roll.  Poorly conceived fall protection line drags employee off car and causes him to fall to ground and suffer severe injury.  Employer industry provided worker’s compensation and was immune from suit.  We obtained a substantial settlement against the railroad which supplied the railroad car, even though the incident was not on railroad property and the railroad did not have the right to control the accident location.
