How Federal Employer Liability Act (FELA) Lawsuits Are Handled
When it comes to FELA injury claims, the process largely mirrors personal injury lawsuits. Both the employer and your legal representative will conduct thorough investigations into the incident prior to discussing the possibility of a settlement.
It is for this reason that hiring an FELA attorney with experience is essential. A successful claim could lead to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other non-economic damages such as suffering and pain.
Statute of Limitations
The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) provides railroad workers with additional protections over those offered by state laws on workers' compensation. While workers' compensation claims are filed and handled in the state in which an injury occurs, FELA claims can be filed with any court in the United States. As with any legal action it is essential to be aware of the law and how it applies to your case.
The statute of limitations is one of the most important aspects of the FELA lawsuit. A statute of limitations is a time frame within which a lawsuit needs to be brought or it will be deemed to be inadmissible. In the majority of states, a person has two to three years to file a civil lawsuit for personal injuries that result from the negligence of a third party. However the FELA statute of limitations is much shorter. In the majority of cases, an individual must file a FELA claim or lawsuit within three years of the date on which they realized or ought to have known that their injury was related to their railroad job.
This three-year window is important as if a person injured or a family member of someone who has died fails to meet it then they forfeit the right to pursue a lawsuit. The legal system enforces these timelines strictly and no exceptions are made. This is the reason it is vital for an injured railroad worker or the loved one of a deceased worker to seek out the assistance of an experienced attorney as soon as possible after their accident.

It is also important to gather as many details regarding the incident at work and how it happened, including witnesses who can attest to the facts of the incident.
In the case of death, compensation is paid to the surviving spouse or children of the deceased. In most instances, a maximum of 300,000 dollars of wrongful death benefits will be awarded to the spouse who died and child. This amount is able to be increased if an family member can prove that the death was due to a violation to a federal safety regulation or law.
Statute of Repose
When railroad workers are injured or killed on the job In the event of a fatal accident or injury, the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) allows for their families to recover damages. As Supreme Court Justice William Douglas explained, FELA "puts on the industry a portion of the cost of the legs, eyes arms, lives, and legs that it consumes in the pursuit of its business."
If an accident, illness or death occurs, an incident report, bills and official documents, along with other evidence are important to prove that the railroad employer was the one responsible for the injuries. FELA also requires that the railroad provide its employees with a safe environment to work, and requires it to answer to its employees.
