Instead, to recover benefits for an on-the-job railroad injury, a railroad worker is first required to prove their case under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), a federal law which was passed by Congress in 1907. This law requires a railroad employee to provide proof that the injury to the worker was caused, either in whole or in part, by the negligence of the railroad through the conduct of another railroad employee, agent or contractor.

A significant difference between workers compensation laws and the FELA is that the FELA requires proof of negligence or fault, and it uses the doctrine of comparative negligence, even in jurisdictions that use the common law doctrine of contributory negligence. In other words, in FELA claims an employee who was himself somewhat negligent may still be able to recover something for his or her injuries instead of having compensation denied completely as would happen upon a finding of contributory negligence. When this happens, the FELA award is simply reduced by the percentage the railroad worker's negligence is found to have contributed to his injury.

The railroad industry has repeatedly petitioned Congress to amend or repeal the FELA altogether and replace it with a system that is much more similar to ordinary workers comp claims. Congress has steadfastly refused to repeal or amend the FELA, and by it's actions, has reaffirmed its support for the wisdom of the law as originally drafted. This makes it clear that Congress considers the FELA to be more than merely a compensation scheme for railroad workers; Congress also seems to consider the FELA as a primary reason for the railroad industry to police itself in order to promote safer working conditions, thus reducing the number of railroad injuries.

Working for the railroad is dangerous work; accidents are common and can be very serious and even deadly. So it isn't uncommon for people who have been injured in railroad accidents to be out of work while they recover from their injuries.
