Q: If I'm injured on the job, what do I recover?
A: Unlike most state workers' compensation programs that have set amounts depending on the type of injury suffered, an injured railroad worker is not limited to a predetermined or fixed amount for an injury. Depending on the circumstances, under the FELA, a railroad worker may recover past and future lost earnings, including lost wages and benefits; past and future medical expenses; past and future pain and suffering; and past and future physical injury, including impairment and disability.
