"Another Norfolk Southern FELA Lawsuit"
A lawsuit was recently filed by a former signal maintainer for Norfolk Southern Railway against his employer.
The suit claims the company failed to provide the plaintiff with a safe place to work.
Worker Injured on Railway
Timothy Gasper was reportedly severely injured while working near New Castle, Indiana in 2005.
The injuries occurred when Gasper’s vehicle was struck by a train.
Lawsuit Filed
Gasper filed a lawsuit claiming Norfolk violated provisions of the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (FELA) by failing to provide a safe place for their employees to work.
The suit also claims the company failed to provide them with sufficient manpower and safe tools and equipment.
Plaintiff Seeks Compensation
Gaspar says the train accident caused him to sustain permanent injuries to his neck, shoulders and entire body.
As a result of his injuries, Gaspar says he has been caused great pain and suffering, mental anguish and has had a loss of wages.
The lawsuit is seeking compensation in excess of $100,000.
