I heard about a Low T class action lawsuit on tv. Is this true that I can’t file a lawsuit for my injuries without joining the class action?

I’ve retired from the railroad a long time ago. Can I still file a claim for an asbestos cancer or mesothelioma diagnosis?
We get asked this question a lot. These claims arise under something called the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (FELA). This is a federal law which states that there is a three-year statute of limitations for such an injury or wrongful death claim, but that the claim does not arise until the worker “knew or should have known” that the claim was connected to their railroad occupation. A careful analysis must be done on the statute of limitations issues. However, passage of more than three years does not prohibit a claim, particularly if there was no awareness or medical professional that had ever given an opinion that the injury or disease was connected to the railroad occupation more than three years before the diagnosis for example.
Is there any cost for your firm to analyze my potential railroad injury case involving cancer or mesothelioma?
Our firm does not charge any fees for consultations, and our firm, when retained, charges a contingent fee, meaning that we only charge a legal fee if we recover on your case. As with most all law firms, we also advance case costs and court expenses on behalf of a client and do not ask the client to advance those sums-they are repaid at time of settlement.About the editors: The motto at Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp& Duffan law firm is simple -“All we do is injury law.” We hope you were able to find the answer to your injury query.
