Working on railroad cases there are what we call catastrophic cases, which are serious, serious injury or death cases that occur and those, unfortunately, happen more often than they should. They include, obviously, where an employee gets killed, includes cases where an employee may suffer an amputation of a limb, brain injury cases, burn cases, which can also be very serious. Cases where individuals suffer serious post-traumatic stress in collisions or near collisions. And those are the types of cases that require immediate action because the railroads have like a setup where they send out their claims people immediately when one of these types of catastrophic injuries occurs. They start gathering evidence, start talking to witnesses, and unfortunately, while the family is just trying to take care of their loved one, the railroads already building a case against them. It may seem harsh but families should try to get some representation to protect their rights before evidence gets destroyed, spoliated, or changed.
