Who can make a FELA claim?
Usually, any employee of a common carrier railroad company who is injured on the job can make a FELA claim. In the unfortunate event of the work related death of a railroad worker, the worker’s family may also make a FELA claim. There are some cases where non-railroad employees who are under contract to the railroad company, or who work for companies under contract to the railroad company, are eligible to file a FELA claim.
