2Opinion of the Court · GinsburgJustice Ginsburg
This case concerns the standard of causation applicable in cases arising under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA or Act), 45 U.S.C. § 51 et seq. FELA renders railroads liable for employees’ injuries or deaths “resulting in whole or in part from [carrier] negligence.” § 51.

Ed. 2d 493 (1957), and the uniform view of federal appellate courts, we conclude that the Act does not incorporate “proximate cause”…
