A:Under the FELA, the injured railroad worker is entitled to bring a claim against the Railroad either in state court or in federal court, whichever better suits the employee’s convenience or purpose. Normally, the claim is filed in the court where (1) the accident occurred, (2) the Railroad is found doing business, or (3) the Railroad has its principal place of business. The decision as to where you should file your FELA claim is best left up to you and your experienced FELA attorney.
