The chronology gets you there before they do. The railroad investigates its own injuries and keeps its own doctors. Its file often reaches the other side first. These are the points where it meets the treating records, each flagged with its page. Railroad file #### The injury report The worker's own account, the supervisor's and any witness statements, side by side with the first medical note. citedRailroad file #### The equipment Every mention of the ladder, the grab iron, the brake or the handhold in the records. Safety appliance defects change the damages math. 45 U.S.C. §53Railroad file #### Company medical Pre-employment and periodic exams, fitness for duty notes and return to work decisions, dated.

Those belong to you and your experts. **HIPAA, under a signed BAA** — Every file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement. **SOC 2** — Encryption in transit and at rest, and PHI access logging on every event. **Never trains a model** — Your records never train any AI model, ours or anyone else’s. **Deleted after delivery** — Files are deleted 30 days after delivery, with an audit log of every access. Questions ### Train accident and FELA record review, answered. **Does this work for passengers and people hit at crossings?** Yes. The chronology is built for the person you represent. For a passenger or a crossing case the railroad file is replaced by the incident and police records you have. **Can you read company medical and fitness for duty records?** Yes. Pre-employment exams, periodic physicals and return to work decisions are read like any other record and set on the same timeline as the treating care. **Do you say whether a safety statute was violated?** No. We flag every mention of the equipment and its condition, with pages. Whether a violation occurred and what it means for damages is your call. **Do you retrieve records from providers?** No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have, and review starts in minutes from upload. ### Related case types [Workers' comp](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/workers-comp/) [Boat accidents](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/boat-accident-record-review/) [Crush injuries](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/crush-injury-record-review/) [Fitness for duty](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/fitness-for-duty-record-review/) [Occupational disease](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/occupational-disease-record-review/) [Every case type](https://medrecords.ai/solutions/case-types/) ### Send us 1 railroad file.
