Protecting Injured Railroad Workers — Amtrak — Burlington Northern/Santa Fe — SEPTA — CONRAIL — Northfolk Southern
This Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), put in place in 1908, protects railroad employees, providing them with benefits for past and future wage losses, medical benefits and other statutory benefits. Unlike workers' compensation claims, injured railroad workers are also able to receive damages for past and future pain and suffering.
Even more so than in a workers' compensation claim, your employer becomes your adversary during a FELA case, as you are suing your employer. It is important not to provide any written or recorded statements to the insurance adjuster that can be used against your case.
