Railroad Retirement
If you are a current or former railroad worker, you may qualify for disability benefits from the United States Railroad Retirement Board's disability benefits program. Your injury does not need to be work-related, but you must not be able to continue to perform your job because of a disability. Railroad benefits are intended to provide benefits similar to those available to other individuals under the Social Security Act. Eligibility, qualify events and claims are closely regulated and decided by detail case law, similar to Social Security benefits.
Unfortunately, many people who apply for benefits without the help of a disability lawyer have their claims denied. It is important to have a knowledgeable and experienced Railroad disability benefits attorney guide you from the beginning stages of your claim and help you fight for your rights.
