Railroad Workers' Injuries

Congress enacted the Federal Employer's Liability Act (F.E.L.A.) in 1908 to provide benefits for railroad workers who sustain injuries in the scope of their employment. Unlike state Workers' Compensation laws, which provide benefits on a no-fault basis, F.E.L.A. is based on the principles of fault.

 

If you have been injured working on a railroad you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. To recover damages for your railroad injury, you must establish that the railroad caused or in some way, contributed to the accident. The damages to which you, as a railroad injured worker, are entitled to receive under F.E.L.A. are not limited.
