The Federal
Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) was signed into law in 1908 to
help compensate workers who have been injured while employed with
the railroad industry. The
high number of work-related injuries prompted this law.
“The first
worker compensation scheme and industrial safety statute, the FELA
was, in the words of Justice Douglas, ‘intended to place upon
the railroad employer the burden of the lives and limbs [and
lungs] consumed in the wake of the railroad's dangerous
operations.’” - http://www.toxicinjury.com/railroad_accident_fela.html
Railroad
lawsuits injury covers employees who are injured on the job
through equipment negligence, toxic fumes, or pulmonary symptoms.
Because situations vary, contact your FELA lawyer soon
after your injury to help you file your claim.
