FELA
Railroad Worker's Injuries
Injured Railroad Workers Have Legal Rights Under
The (FELA) Federal Employer's Liability Act
The railroad is a dangerous place to work and the laws of the United States of America recognize this fact. The Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA), the Locomotive Inspection Act, the Safety Appliance Act, and other related laws, require railroad owners and managers to provide their employees with asafe work environment. Like workers' compensation laws for workers in other industries, the FELA assures railroad workers and their families fair compensation for work-related injuries and deaths.
"The Federal Employers' Liability Act was designed to put on the railroad industry some of the costs of the legs, arms, eyes, and lives which it consumed in its operation"
- Justice William O. Douglas, United States Supreme Court
