An OSHSA investigation at my job showed that the railroad violated several OSHA regulations before I was injured. How might this affect my FELA claim?
If a railroad is found to have violated federal OSHA standards pertaining to workplace safety (or safety standards set out in other laws), an injured railroad worker and his attorney will have a much easier time proving their case. All that needs to be shown is that the law in question was violated, and that the railroad worker was injured.
