How to File a Railroad Injuries Claim

Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) could be applicable if you have been injured while working for a railroad. Although it's not the same as standard Illinois workers laws regarding compensation, FELA protects railroad employees and can offer more money than state workers' compensation benefits.

In a FELA claim, damages are past and future medical expenses, as well as loss of wages, pain, suffering, permanent disability, and emotional distress. The amount of your damages is determined by a number of factors such as whether the railroad can prove that you were responsible for your injuries.

Proving Negligence

To win an injury case in a railroad accident, the injured worker must show that their employer was negligent, and that their negligence was the cause of the injury. In most instances, this is done by showing that the employer did not provide reasonably safe working conditions or equipment or methods of work.

This could include dirt and oil that can cause slip and fall dangers, or a defective railway track, railcar or locomotive switch that could cause a train crash. Another example could be that the employer failed to conduct regular inspections of the workplace or provide adequate training.
