The Law Offices of Nolan, Caddell & Reynolds
Arkansas FELA Railroad Accident Claims Attorneys
Railroad workers are not covered under workers’ compensation. The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) was enacted in 1908 to cover railroad employees injured or killed on the job. Unlike workers’ compensation, where an employer does not have to be at fault for a worker to receive compensation for their injuries, FELA requires employees to demonstrate the fault of their employer before receiving injury benefits from them. The law office of Nolan, Caddell & Reynolds understands the requirements of FELA, how to protect our client’s job, and what steps to take to document and prove the fault of a railroad company.
