Question:
I am a railroad employee and I was injured. I have a repetitive stress injury to the wrist and hands. I want to have a simple sugury to correct this problem, yet the doctor I’m seeing keeps giving me different medication, pain relievers, which I don’t want to take. I am also not receiving any compensation financially, because I’ve not been employed for more than six months, according to their policies.

Answer:
This case falls under the Federal Employees Liability Act (FELA). You are entitled to full payment of reasonable medical bills and your lost wage. If the employer is at fault, then you are also entitled to additional compensation for pain and suffering and disability. Your employer hasn’t told you this because they have no interest in justice.
Hence, you are pursuing the wrong avenues right now. Contact a FELA lawyer in California immediately so that you can be treated fairly.
