Announcing the Release of Schlichter Bogard’s Summer 2025 Railroad Injury Newsletter
Schlichter Bogard is pleased to announce the release of our Spring 2025 Railroad Injury newsletter exclusively covering railroad-related topics.

What to Do When the Railroad Starts Watching You
Railroads often hire private investigators to secretly surveil injured workers after a FELA claim, aiming to challenge their credibility, but by staying honest, following medical restrictions, and working with an experienced attorney, employees can turn this tactic into evidence that reinforces their case.
