Congress passed FELA, the Federal Employers' Liability Act, in 1908 to allow railroad workers injured on the job the ability to recover damages. Under FELA, proof of injury caused in part or in whole by the negligence of the railroad must be proven. In order for an employee to be entitled to recover damages under FELA, certain conditions must be present. Railroad workers injured on the job are sometimes entitled to more than just compensation, but workers are not always told this since companies will often want to minimize any potential costs and legal battles. Under FELA, workers are protected from threats or pressure from companies to avoid legal consultation and should not feel contacting an attorney will threaten their position with the company.
Under law, railroads have a duty to its workers to provide a safe working environment. The failure to do so may be considered negligence, which FELA allows compensation for. If death or injury has been suffered, it is essential to contact a FELA attorney. An attorney that has specialized in specific laws pertaining to railroad safety will be able to give the employee their legal rights and options and dramatically increase the chances of recovering the greatest amount of compensation available. FELA law is a specific sector of legal proceedings. While FELA was created to protect railroad workers, there are still many difficulties in seeking damages through it. Proof of negligence must be shown, as well as the level of the employee's own contributory negligence, which can be very difficult to show despite the creation and existence of FELA. The challenges some FELA cases present can be properly addressed by retaining an experienced and reputable FELA attorney.
