What happens if I fail to file a F.E.L.A. case within the statute of limitations?
If a suit is not filed within the statute of limitations, whatever rights an injured worker has will be lost permanently. IMPORTANT NOTE: Therefore, it is critical to consult with a Federal Employers Liability Act attorney as soon as possible after an accident to evaluate whether a case exists. Before an attorney can properly evaluate your F.E.L.A. case, an investigation must be performed, coworkers or witnesses interviewed and doctors must prepare and furnish all necessary medical reports.
