Get Started:
A lawsuit was recently filed against Norfolk Southern Railway by a former employer who believes they violated the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA).
The man states in his suit that his employer didn’t provide him with a safe working environment and as a result he has suffered.
Lynn Whittaker says that in 2007 he was seriously injured while working at the A.O. Smith Yard in Granite City.
Whittaker says he suffered neck injuries along with knee and shoulder injuries due to a time when he was walking along the train during an ice storm.
He reportedly slipped and fell on ballasts that were frozen.
The suit accuses Norfolk of being negligent because of their failure to provide safe work conditions for their employees.
As a result of his injuries, Whittaker has reportedly suffered from a great deal of pain and has accrued medical expenses, lost wages and his ability to enjoy the normality’s of life has been lost.
Whittaker is seeking a sum compensation for his injuries in excess of $25,000.
