It depends on the type of injury you have and how you were injured. Generally, if you’re injured on the railroad there’s a three-year statute of limitations to bring a claim under the federal employers liability act. However, if you’re injured by a third party like on an industry track or at a motel if you’re staying overnight that the railroad puts you up at or in a railroad van by a third party crashing into your van the statues of limitations can be different. And so you need to know what all those are in each case to really know what your rights are and that’s why you should talk to a lawyer.
