Since the law governing a FELA injury is federal law, the claim is governed by a three (3) year statute of limitations. Thus, if you were injure on September 1, 2009, you must file a lawsuit by September 1, 2012. However, it is essential that you get the right medical care early to assess your injuries. Though you can wait 3 years to sue, it is not recommended.
