FELA
In the United States, railroad workers are protected under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). This law was created in order to prevent worker deaths or injuries by shifting the burden of economic responsibility away from individual workers and onto the railroads.
The FELA defines the legal obligations that railroads have to meet by providing safe working environments, properly training workers while also assessing for hazards and enforcing safety rules. Failure to adhere to these rules could result in railroad companies being held liable for negligence.
While FELA is a powerful tool for protecting injured workers, it does come with its own set of challenges. First, the railroad has to be found negligent by the worker. This is typically simpler in an FELA case than in a standard personal injury claim.

Comparative Negligence
In the litigation involving railroad injuries one of the most crucial issues is to determine who was at fault in an accident. Although it may be difficult to determine who is at fault in certain circumstances, comparative negligence could aid the parties in reaching an agreement that benefits everyone.

A driver who fails or refuses to obey traffic rules such as stop signs, can be held liable under a common negligence rule. This can be particularly useful in cases involving railroad accidents where the company's failure to properly maintain or repair its equipment can be considered to be a contributing factor in the injuries suffered by the injured worker.
There are three different kinds of comparative negligence in the United States, including pure, modified, and contributory. Although all three of them apply in some way, the most popular is the modified one.
A modified comparative negligence system allows the victim to seek damages in cash, provided that their share of blame is not more than 50% or is greater than the percentage of a different defendant or group. In most states, however, this rule is only applicable to personal injuries and wrongful death claims.
The system is based on the concept of neglect and considers the four elements of negligence: breach of duty breach, breach, duty care, and causation. It is crucial for an experienced lawyer to prove these elements in order to ensure an appropriate outcome for the plaintiff.
Pure comparative negligence is a standard in all states, but not the concept of contributory negligence, which is recognized by five states. Under this rule it is possible for an injured party to get compensation even if found to be 100% at fault. It's known as pure comparative negligence in New York, but only thirteen other states use it.

The employer could also be responsible for a railway worker who is injured while working on a train or track. The employer may also be liable if the worker was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident which could have led to the risk of injury being increased.
Federal laws that regulate safety of railroads include the Boiler Inspection Act, and the Railroad Safety Act. These acts set standards for the safe operation of trains and rail cars.
