Federal Employers Liability Act or FELA protects railroad workers and can provide compensation in case of death or serious injury.

If you are a railroad employee with work related injuries and you have a FELA lawsuit, you already know it can take a long time to get any money from the FELA settlements fund. But what if you need some of your cash right now? A lawsuit loan might be the answer and TLF can get you $500 to $500,000 in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Due to the hazardous nature of their job, many railroad workers are susceptible to serious injuries. Railroad workers who get injured in the workplace are often left permanently disabled and unable to work as a direct result of their injuries or disabilities.

Railroad workers are injured each year because of the improper use of railroad ballast in the rail yard. When railroad companies fail to use walking ballast in the rail yard, it can lead to slips trips and falls, and chronic injuries to the lower body that tend to develop over time.

Because of the repetitive nature of many railroad job duties, repetitive motion injuries like tendonitis, bursitis, carpel tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis are common.

Some railroad workers are injured exposure to toxic or dangerous chemicals that can be carried on the railroads, some of which lead to serious, life altering and often deadly diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

The Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) entitles railroad workers to compensation if they are injured on the job due to unsafe working conditions, inadequate training or equipment, negligence or other safety hazards.

TriMark Legal Funding LLC offers funding on several different types of accident cases involving trains and railroads. We can provide lawsuit cash advances on railroad injury cases filed by railroad workers under FELA and we can also fund settlement advances for non-railroad employees; passengers and others involved in train crashes, railroad crossing accidents, etc., involving trains and motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, etc.

This page pertains to FELA settlements for railroad accidents, injuries and death to railroad workers. We also offer lawsuit funding on passenger related lawsuits pertaining to train accidents or train wrecks.

Railroad Worker Injuries and RELA

Railroad workers who have been injured on the job, unfortunately, do not have the same prompt and certain relief that is afforded to injured workers in other industries by no-fault workers compensation laws.

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. 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.

Working for the railroad is dangerous work; always has been and probably always will be. Serious accidents are common and can be deadly, so it isn't uncommon for people with a railroad injury to be out of work while they recover from their railroad accident..
