Railroad employees may be able to have an action based upon “comparative negligence.” This means that you can sue the railroad even if you are partially responsible for the injuries you sustained. You will be entitled to compensation for your damages, including the loss of earnings or other income, pain and suffering as well as mental or physical suffering. You'll also be able to recover the full value of your future earnings and any other losses that you've sustained as a result of your injuries.
