We have successfully battled the
practice of compelling an injured employee to attend
"weekly meetings" with railroad management.
It is our experience that the railroad uses these meetings
to harass, intimidate, and unlawfully collect information
regarding the railroad worker's FELA claim.
In all cases where we have challenged the railroad,
courts have sided with our clients and eliminated or severely limited
the scope of the weekly meetings, thus ordering the
railroad not to question an injured employee regarding
anything "relevant" to his claim. This arguably
includes all questions about the accident, medical treatment,
and vocational rehabilitation.
If you are ordered to attend weekly meetings, you should
immediately contact Designated Legal Counsel so you
can be informed of your rights. You can call us toll-free
at 1 (800) 447-7500.
