A more thorough explanation:

FELA

FELA stands for Federal Employers' Liability Act. It is a law that protects railroad workers who are injured on the job. Under FELA, railroad workers can sue their employer for damages if they can prove that the employer was negligent and that the negligence caused their injury.

For example, if a railroad worker is injured because their employer failed to provide proper safety equipment, they may be able to sue under FELA. Similarly, if a railroad worker is injured because their employer failed to properly maintain equipment, they may also be able to sue under FELA.

Another example would be if a railroad worker is injured because their employer failed to properly train them on how to use equipment safely. In this case, the worker may be able to sue under FELA if they can prove that the lack of training was a result of the employer's negligence.

These examples illustrate how FELA protects railroad workers by holding their employers accountable for their negligence. By allowing workers to sue for damages, FELA helps ensure that employers take the necessary steps to keep their workers safe on the job.
