If you work for a railroad and are injured on the job, your sole remedy is likely to be the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA). Unlike workers compensation, a recovery under FELA requires railroaders to prove fault on the part of the railroad.

Most railroad workers have little knowledge regarding the complex federal statute that governs this area. Railroads have little incentive to provide information to injured workers, knowing that they may be the ones who are going to foot the bill for the injuries.
