Washington Accident Lawyer
Anytime a worker is hurt on the job, it is important to carefully review the situation to understand what insurance may be used to cover the injuries. When clients contact our firm — the law office of Fred Diamondstone — that is exactly what we do. We have more than 30 years of experience helping injured people bring justice to their situation.
Understanding Your Situation
When we represent injured railroad workers, our first goal is understanding how the accident happened. We take the time to meet with our clients to make sure we know the complete details of their situation. We also gather all the information that is available. This includes obtaining medical records, accident records from the railroad and other companies, records from the Washington Utility Commission and records from the Federal Railroad Administration. We work efficiently so that we have time to build a strong claim.
We work with our clients to develop and understand all of the facts. We explain the legal process in simple and understandable terms. We help our clients learn what options they have and the possible ramifications of each choice. We will help you explore all options, including railroad retirement disability, and we will help preserve and maximize your job related benefits.
The Importance of Proper Early Reporting
Injuries need to be timely and promptly reported as soon as you are able. If you are hospitalized and under the influence of medications, you should not be asked to make a report under the influence of those medications. It is important to document your injuries and how the railroad caused those injuries. There are also job-related benefits that railroad workers are entitled to. To make the most of your benefits, it's important to report your injury in a timely and accurate fashion to your employer.
Because we have handled a railroad cases for more than 15 years, we have a strong understanding of the railroad processes and procedures. When your health and livelihood are on the line, it's important to work with an experienced Seattle railroad worker injury attorney who can bring justice to the situation.
