In 1906, there were approximately four million railroad workers.
During this time period, states began to implement laws to compensate workers injured on the job.
The railroad industry opposed the law as these laws were no fault.
In other words, the employee was compensated for an injury regardless of who caused it, as long as it happened at work.
FELA was enacted by Congress in 1908 to provide benefits for railroad workers injured during the course of their employment.
In the words of Supreme Court Justice William Douglas, The Federal Employers' Liability Act was designed to put on the railroad industry some of the costs of the legs, arms, eyes, and lives which it consumed in its operation.
