Railroad employers are obligated to provide a safe workplace for their employees and the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) was enacted to provide compensation for railroad employees injured on the job. Employees injured due to the negligence of the railroad are entitled to file a claim directly against their employer for recovery of damages.
Compensation under FELA can be significantly higher than compensation under the Workers Compensation Act. You may be able to file a claim to include medical expenses, loss of present and future wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment and pain and suffering.
