Railroad worker injuries are covered under the Federal Employees Liability Act which requires that a railroad maintains their fleet, ensuring that their trains are in good working order and free of defects. If a railroad does not comply with these standards, they may be liable for injuries to their workers. Damages railroad workers may receive include medical treatments, present and future lost wages and mental trauma. An injury on the railway can range from a minor sprain to a spinal injury so severe that it leads to death. Some of the most common injuries that affect railway workers are head trauma, knee injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain trauma or spinal cord injuries. The Federal Employees Liability Act protects railroad workers and others as diverse as clerical employees whose day-to-day functions do not directly involve trains or outdoor activity.
Rosemary Beach is an unincorporated master planned community in Walton County, Florida, United States. A traditional new town development designed by Duany Plater Zyberk & Company, Rosemary Beach followed in the footsteps of Seaside in recreating the feel of a community. Founded in 1995, the town encompasses about 105 acres (0.42 km) and when completed will have just over 500 homesites and a mixed use town center with shops, restaurants, and activities. As of November, 2006, the town is more than 70% complete. It looks out on the white sands of the Emerald Coast and is within Inlet Beach, Florida. Rosemary Beach was the location for the HGTV Dream Home contest in 1999 where a lucky contestant won a furnished home and an automobile. The town is a master-planned community located on the popular beachside road, 30-A. Its design is to remind visitors of a West Indies beachside resort.
