Railroad Injury Claims Attorney

Don’t wait to file a claim because there are time limitations for filing all types of railroad accident claims.

• Injured Railroad Employees - The federal statute of limitations for FELA claims is 3 years from date of injury.
• Injured Non-Employees - Time limitations for individuals that have been involved in incidents such as a railroad crossing accident or an accident while a passenger on a train, are described as a statute of limitations in some states and a “prescription period” in other states. Both terms specify the time in which a lawsuit must be filed or the claimant will lose the right to do so. The time period can be as short as one year and certain claims may require notice within six months of the date of the incident.

Accident Witnesses & Evidence Can Be Lost

Accident investigations and witness depositions are another pressing reason to seek the assistance of an experienced railroad injury attorney right away. As time passes, evidence can be lost and memories can fade, thereby jeopardizing the success of a claim.
