FELA lawsuits cover traumatic or catastrophic injuries sustained on the job. However, they also cover injuries from repetitive motions, work-related illness, and the worsening of a pre-existing condition. Injuries resulting from the following are some of the most prevalent FELA claims: workers getting hit by trains, incidents with train couplers, street crossing collisions and injuries, and cumulative stress on the body of the worker. You can recover current and future lost wages, current and future medical bills, physical and mental pain and suffering, permanent disability, and loss of earning capacity.
