6.2 FELA-Elements and Burden of Proof are important components of the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELL). This act allows railroad workers to receive compensation for injuries or medical conditions caused by their job. FELA-Elements are the criteria that must be met in order for a railroad employee to receive compensation. These elements include showing that the employee was acting within the scope of their employment, that the railroad was negligent, and that the employee's injury or medical condition was caused by the railroad's negligence. The Burden of Proof is the responsibility of the employee to prove that all the FELA-Elements have been met. This includes providing evidence that the employee was acting within the scope of their employment, that the railroad was negligent, and that the employee's injury or medical condition was caused by the railroad's negligence.
