If you or a loved one was injured in a train crash you may be entitled to compensation. These damages can cover past and future medical expenses as well as lost wages, permanent disability, disfigurement and lost wages.
Federal law FELA (Federal Employers' Liability Act), protects railroad workers. It provides monetary compensation for pain and suffering that are not covered by the state workers' compensation laws.
Prompt Reporting
Having an injury claim go unreported can make a big difference in an employee's capacity to receive medical treatment. NCCI research has proven that the longer an injury stays not reported, the greater the chance that the claim will remain open and unpaid.
Railroads are required to ensure their employees have safe working environments and that their tools and equipment are safe employed. If it does not meet this requirement, then the employee can sue the railroad to recover damages.
Railroad safety rules require railroad employees to report any injuries. However, it is often difficult to convince an injured worker to do so. In these instances it is crucial that the worker immediately notify the injured party as soon as they can and that he or she seek legal advice from an attorney.
In addition to their obligation to ensure that their employees have a safe working environment railroads are also required to provide prompt and effective medical care. Medical treatment that is timely can stop injuries from becoming serious and more expensive to treat.
Railroads are also required by FELA to cover all medical expenses employees receive on the job. This includes transport to and from doctors' office, prescription medication and treatment for any resulting mental or physical illnesses.
The railroad must keep all of these records along with any other evidence it collects during the investigation and treatment of the claim. Failure to follow the railroad's rules could lead to severe discipline and even dismissal from employment.

A railroad must give sufficient time to report any accident or incident that involves employees to the FRA (National Transportation Safety Board) (NTSB). Although railroads are generally conscientious about reporting incidents and accidents but it is not uncommon that they fail to report these incidents.
FELA
In the United States, railroad workers are protected by the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). This law was enacted to prevent worker injuries or deaths by shifting the financial burden away from individual employees and onto the railroads.
The FELA outlines the legal obligations railroads must fulfill by providing safe working areas, properly educating workers in the workplace, examining for hazards, and enforcing safety regulations. A railroad company that fails to adhere to these rules will be found negligent and can be found liable in a lawsuit for negligence under the FELA.
While FELA is a powerful tool to protect injured workers, it does come with its own set of issues. First, a worker has to demonstrate that the railroad was negligent and that their negligence caused their injury. This is typically easier in an FELA case than in a standard personal injury claim.
A railroad worker must prove that their employer broke the law of the state or federal or safety rule. A railroad that violates any of these laws could easily prove that it caused the injury and is therefore accountable under the FELA.
Railroad workers must also prove that their injury was permanent. This is important as an injury which is permanent is typically more valuable than one that isn't.
Many workplace accidents could cause long-term injuries, including broken bones, joint sprains, lacerations, and even lacerations. Repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis, can also aggravate or accelerate existing medical conditions.
When you're faced with an extensive, complicated and possibly expensive claim against railroads, it's important to work with an skilled FELA attorney. A typical personal injury lawyer who isn't specialized in this area will be overwhelmed by the resources and expertise that railroads have in place behind the case.
Comparative Negligence
In railroad injuries litigation, one of the most crucial concerns is determining who was at fault in an accident. Although it is difficult to assign blame in some circumstances, comparative negligence could assist parties in coming to an agreement that benefits all.
Comparative negligence is a legal process that permits parties involved in a car crash to share the burden of liability according to their respective contributions to the causes of the accident. This makes it easier to calculate damages in the event of pile-ups and multi-car crashes.
Drivers who fail or fails to obey traffic laws, such as stop signs, can be held responsible under a comparative negligence rule. This is especially useful in cases involving railroad injuries in cases where the failure of the company to properly maintain or repair its equipment may be considered as an important factor in the worker's injuries.
Three kinds of comparative negligence are found in the United States: modified, pure and contributory. All three are applicable in a certain way, but the most common is the modified version.
Under the modified system of comparative negligence the injured party can receive monetary compensation as the percentage of blame is not more than 50% or exceeds the fault of another defendant or group of defendants. In many states, however, this rule only applies to personal injury claims and wrongful death claims.
This system is based on a concept of negligence that analyzes the four elements of negligence: duty breach, breach, duty of care and causation. It is vital for an experienced lawyer to prove these factors in order to secure a favorable settlement for the plaintiff.
Contrary to contributory negligence which is only recognized in five states, pure comparative negligence is the norm in all states. According to this rule an injured person can recover even if they are found 99% at fault. It's known as pure comparative negligence in New York, but only thirteen other states have it.
Damages
Railroad workers are entitled to compensation in the event of being injured on the job. The law that governs workers' rights is referred to as the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
An employee must prove that the employer was negligent in FELA cases. If this is the case, the employee may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, and other damages.
Unlike state workers' comp systems that use damage caps to limit the amount that an employee can receive, FELA allows injured workers to be compensated for all losses that are not economic. This includes pain, suffering as well as loss of enjoyment, emotional distress, disability, and other losses.
The damages that a railroad worker can pursue depend on the nature of the injury or death. For example when a train driver dies in a crash on the tracks, the family members of the deceased may seek compensation for the wrongful death of the deceased and damages for loss of companionship and support.
Furthermore, if the train driver was killed because of negligence on the part of another party, then the person who caused the accident could be held liable for the death of the train driver. This could include the car owner driver, operator, pedestrian or even the family members of the driver.
Additionally, if a railroad worker was injured while fixing the track or a train itself, the employer could be held accountable for the injuries. Employers can also be held responsible for injuries sustained by employees who were under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time that the accident occurred.
There are also specific federal laws that are applicable to railroad safety, for instance the Boiler Inspection Act and the Railroad Safety Act. These laws set safety standards for trains as well as rail cars.
Railroad Safety Act, for example requires railroads to check their trains to make sure that they operate safely and in accordance with their standards. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of the public when trains travel on tracks.
