Railroad Injury (FELA) Lawsuits Funding
Get FAST lawsuit funding cash of $500 to $100,000 – as soon as today – if you’re struggling to pay your bills while you wait for a settlement from your FELA railroad injury lawsuit?
Prior to the availability of lawsuit funding (also known as legal funding or pre settlement funding) those involved in FELA cases had few options if their FELA railroad case dragged on, leaving them out of work and unable to pay their day-to-day living expenses. Today however that is not the case. Lawsuit funding can make a significant difference in the lives of those suffering due to an injury at the core of their FELA railroad lawsuit.
The Federal Employer’s Liability Act, also known as FELA, provides workers compensation - like protection for literally thousands of railroad workers nationwide. In 1908 Congress established FELA to provide a system of legal recovery for railroad workers and their families, for injuries suffered by the railroad worker while on the job. Almost any worker, even those whose primary responsibilities are not performed in or around trains, employed by a railroad company are protected under FELA if they are injured on the job.
Unlike “no fault” worker’s compensation laws, while FELA requires the plaintiff to show a level of negligence on behalf of the defendant (usually a railroad, its employees, and or an equipment manufacturer), the amount of fault is less than the amount of fault someone would have to prove under an ordinary negligence claim.
However, it is because of the burden of proof required by the courts, that FELA litigation can last much longer than normal worker’s comp claims. Even with an experienced attorney, unless it is clear that the defendant violated federal standards pertaining to workplace safety, that are set out for example in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, the Boiler Inspection Act, and the Safety Appliance Act, it could be more difficult to settle a FELA claim.
Either way, you as the plaintiff, could be waiting a significant amount of time to see any compensation from your FELA lawsuit. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work so well if you’re expecting an award from your FELA lawsuit to help pay for the bills you have today!
