Compensating Injured Railroad Workers Under the Federal Employers' Liability Act
Railroad workers who are injured on the job seek compensation for their injuries under the provisions of the Federal Employers' Liability Act of 1908 (FELA). The report begins by looking at the historical development of compensation systems for injured workers, including the FELA process and workers' compensation systems; and the specific criticisms and defenses that have been raised concerning FELA by the affected parties. In Chapter 2 the FELA process and workers' compensation systems are put in context with other employee benefits that can assist injured workers. In Chapter 3 a framework for evaluating the issues involved in compensating injured workers is laid out. The FELA process for compensating injured railroad workers is described in detail in Chapter 4, and in Chapter 5 comparable information is presented about state and federal workers' compensation systems. The purpose of Chapter 6 is to present more detailed information about the cost and performance of the FELA process using railroad industry data. Finally, the estimated effect, under various assumptions, of FELA on modal competitiveness and federal appropriations is analyzed in Chapter 7. Committee findings and conclusions about FELA are presented in Chapter 8.
