Questions and Answers
Q: What do I have to prove under the FELA in order to be compensated?
A: It must be an on the job injury, and some negligence on the part of the railroad, even if it is only very slight negligence, must play some part in causing the injury. In other words, if there is any fault at all on the part of the railroad in causing the injury, then the railroad is responsible for the injury.
