When an Oklahoma family loses a loved one who was the breadwinner of the family, they could face severe financial hardship. When a railroad worker sustains a fatal workplace injury, the dependants of the deceased may have to cope with lost wages, medical bills and the typical high costs of a funeral and burial. Depending upon the type of railroad worker involved and the laws of the state where the fatal accident occurred, the victim's family likely has a claim for death benefits under state workers' compensation laws or the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) for compensation.
