FELA
Railroad workers in the United States are protected by the Federal Employers' Liability Act. This law was established to prevent worker deaths or injuries by shifting the financial burden away from individual workers and onto the railroads.
FELA stipulates legal obligations that all railroads have to fulfill, such as providing safe workplaces and properly training employees, inspecting for hazards, and enforcing safety rules. Any railroad company that fails to adhere to these rules is deemed negligent and found liable in a lawsuit for negligence under the FELA.
FELA is a very effective tool to protect injured workers , however it also has its challenges. First, the worker must demonstrate that the railroad was negligent and that the railroad's negligence caused their injury. This is usually easier in an FELA case than in a traditional personal injury lawsuit.
Railroad workers must also prove that their employer has violated any safety rules or statutes in the state or federal. If a railroad violates any of these laws, the worker is able to prove that it caused their injury and therefore is liable under FELA.
