[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mr. Harris, there is no "goodness of heart" whatever under[URL=http://www.felalawhelp.com] FELA[/URL]. From the moment of injury, regardless of apparent fault, the employee and employer are quite simply "adverse parties". True, the friendly railroad claim adjustor will be trying to offer an employee quick $$$ in exchange for the Release, but I think any employee with IQ sufficient to be hired and retained in railroad service knows, especially where the scope of the injury is undetermined, to accept any such offer. What is most brutal is that an injured employee has no applicable health insurance. There is no subrogating by a health insurance carrier when the matter is settled...there is nothing....and if anyone around here has no health insurance and has needed medical attention, they know all well that health care providers can get rather "aggressive" with their collection efforts. Finally, Patrick, if you are looking for a social injustice to rant about, first count your blessings in the not-for-profit sector you are covered by Worker's Comp, then read up on FELA and start ranting. I'll be in your corner on this one, as a dear long time friend (not a girlfriend, she's married) and railroad colleague quite simply had her life and her family "wrecked' over a FELA matter.
