How Federal Employer Liability Act (FELA) Lawsuits Are Handled
The procedure for FELA injury claims is similar to that of personal injury lawsuits. Your legal representative and your employer will thoroughly investigate the incident before negotiating settlement options.
This is why hiring a skilled FELA attorney is essential. A successful claim could result in the payment of medical expenses as well as non-economic damages, such as suffering and pain.
Statute of Limitations
The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) provides railroad workers with greater protections than those provided by state laws on workers' compensation. While claims for workers' compensation are filed and processed in the state in which an injury occurs, FELA claims can be filed with any court in the United States. Like any legal claim, it is essential to know the law and how it applies to your particular case.
The statute of limitations is one of the most crucial aspects of an FELA lawsuit. A statute of limitation is a deadline that a lawsuit must meet before it can be filed or withdrawn. In the majority of states, a person has two to three years to file an action in civil court for personal injuries resulting from another party's negligence. The FELA statute is significantly shorter. In the majority of cases, a person has to submit a FELA lawsuit or claim within three years from the date they discovered or should've realized that their injury was connected to their railroad work.
This three-year period is crucial as if a person injured or a family member of someone who has died misses it, they lose the right to pursue a lawsuit. The legal system enforces the timelines and rarely makes exceptions. This is why it is essential for an injured railroad worker or a loved one of a deceased worker to seek the help of an experienced lawyer as soon as possible after their accident.
In the vast majority of FELA lawsuits the injured worker will be entitled to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These damages are available for both traumatizing injuries such as broken bones and torn muscles, as well occupational diseases like mesothelioma and other cancers. A FELA claim may also include compensation for ancillary costs related to the injury such as transportation to and from work.
The most important aspect of success in a FELA case is thorough documentation of the damage incurred in the course of the injury. This documentation should include medical records describing the extent of an injured person's condition and its connection to the workplace incident. In addition, it is essential to collect as much information regarding the incident at work and how it happened, including witnesses who can verify the details of the case.
In the event of death, a payout is awarded to the surviving spouse or children of the deceased. In most instances, a maximum of 300,000 dollars in wrongful-death benefits will be awarded to the spouse of the deceased and children. The amount could be significantly increased in the event that an heir can prove that the wrongful death resulted from the violation of a federal safety law or regulation.
Statute of Repose
The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) allows families of railroad employees who are injured or die while on the job to be compensated. According to Supreme Court Justice William Douglas, FELA "imposes on the industry a share of the costs of eyes, legs, hands, and lives that it takes while conducting its business."
If an injury, illness or death occurs an incident report, bill, official documents, and other evidence is required to show that the railroad company was accountable for the injuries. FELA also requires that the railroad provide its employees with a safe place to work in and also requires it to answer to its workers.
If the lawsuit is not filed within three years of the accident, it could be barred by the statute of limitations. It's crucial to find an attorney who is familiar with FELA laws and can file your claim quickly.
Unlike worker's comp claims, FELA lawsuits can be filed in both state and federal court. However, it's usually easier to make a claim in federal court if the plaintiff's attorney has experience in that jurisdiction.
The time limit for FELA cases is different from the statute of limitations for workers' compensation claims. In the majority of states, the lawsuit must be filed within one or two years after the date of injury. However in FELA claims the timeframe is usually three years from the time the injury or disease was discovered. This timeframe can be extended in certain circumstances based on the date the injury or disease was first identified, or, if it is an occupational-related disease, the date that the disease was first identified.
To file a wrongful-death suit under FELA, a personal representative must be named by the estate of the deceased. Anyone who files a claim does not have standing and is subject to dismissal.
In the majority of FELA cases the plaintiff needs to prove that the condition or injury was at least partially caused through the negligence of their employer. The burden of proof for FELA cases is much less than that required to succeed in the normal negligence case.
Even though a lawsuit can be filed in a state or federal railroad court, the majority of FELA lawsuits are submitted to mediation and settled before they go to trial. An experienced FELA attorney can assist you to achieve the best outcome for your case by providing the best possible representation at these pre-trial conferences and mediations. A lawyer who has successfully defended FELA trials can ensure that the arbitrator or judge is aware of what is at stake for you and/or your family.
