In the United States, railroad workers are protected by the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). The law was designed to protect workers from death and injuries by shifting the financial burden of individual employees onto the railroads.
The FELA provides the legal requirements that railroad companies must meet by providing safe working areas, properly educating workers in the workplace, examining for hazards, and enforcing safety rules. Failure to meet these regulations can result in railroad companies being held responsible for negligence.

Comparative Negligence
In railroad injuries litigation, one of the major issues is to determine the person who was at fault in an accident. While it can be difficult to assign blame in certain situations, comparative negligence may help the parties come to an agreement that is beneficial to all parties.
Comparative negligence is a legal process that permits the parties involved in a car accident to share the burden of liability according to their contribution to the causes of the crash. This allows you to calculate damages in the event of pile-ups and multi-car collisions.
Drivers who fail or fails to obey traffic laws, such as stop signs, can be held accountable under the relative negligence rule. This can be particularly useful in railroad injuries litigation in which the failure of a company to maintain or repair its equipment may be considered to be a contributing factor to the injuries sustained by the injured worker.
There are three different kinds of comparative negligence in the United States, including pure or modified, as well as contributory. All three types of comparative negligence are applicable in some manner, the most commonly used is the modified one.
A modified comparative negligence system can allow the victim to seek monetary damages, provided their share of blame is not greater than 50% or exceeds the percentage of another defendant or group. In the majority of states this rule only applies to personal injuries and wrongful death claims.
This system is based upon a theory of negligence. It examines the four fundamental elements of negligence that include duty of care, breach of duty of care, causation, and damages. It is crucial for an experienced attorney to prove these factors in order to secure an outcome that is favorable for the plaintiff.
In contrast to contributory negligence, which is only recognized in five states Pure comparative negligence is the norm in all states. This allows an injured person to recover even if they're determined to be 99% responsible. This is referred to as pure negligence by comparison in New York. Only thirteen other states have it.
Damages
If a railroad employee is injured on the job they are entitled to compensation. Federal Employers Liability (FELA) is the law which governs the rights of workers.
An employee must prove that their employer was negligent in FELA cases. If this is the case, the employee could receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.

This includes pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment, emotional distress, disability, and other losses.
The nature of the accident or death will determine the damages a railroad worker can sue for. For instance, if a train driver dies in a crash on the tracks, the family members of the deceased can claim wrongful death and damages for loss of companionship and financial support.
If the train driver dies through the negligence of another person the person responsible could be held accountable for the death. This could include a vehicle operator or owner or pedestrian or even family members of the driver.
Furthermore, if a railway worker was injured while fixing a train or the track itself, then the employer may be liable for the injuries. The employer could also be liable if the worker was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident which could result in the risk of injury being increased.
