Free FELA Injury Claims Reviews
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) was signed into law in order to provide a pathway under which injured railroad workers can pursue compensation from their railroad company employers in the event of an injury sustained as a result of their workplace related duties. FELA claims can be made directly to the injured individual’s employer, or filed in state or federal court.
Unlike workers’ compensation claims, an injured railroad worker must show that his or her employer was negligent. However, the negligence standard in FELA cases is lower than that of standard negligence claims. An employer alleged to have negligently caused a workers’ injury often will defend against the claim by arguing that the injured individual was comparatively negligent. If the employee is found to have been partially at fault for the injury that they sustained, this can dramatically reduce the amount of compensation he or she will recover from the FELA claim.
