Under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA), railroad workers, including workers who do not necessarily work on or near the actual railroad, are entitled to certain benefits and compensation for work-related injuries caused by the railroad-employer's negligence.  Congress passed FELA in 1908 to protect the thousands of railword workers and their families after injuries they sustained during the contruction of our nation's railway system. FELA also established various safety standards and regulations governing working conditions for railroad workers.  Unlike regular workers compensation, entitlement to FELA compensation and benefits is based upon fault, or negligence.  If you’ve suffered injuries as a railroad worker, you may be entitled to compensation under the FELA.
