3. Settlement Date


The CSX settlement date for the class action lawsuit is a crucial aspect in determining whether not a plaintiff's claim will succeed. This is because it determines the date on which the settlement is ratified by both federal and state courts, and when the class members are able to object to the settlement or claim damages under the conditions.

The statute of limitations for the state law claim is two years from when the injury occurs. This is known as the "injury discovery rule." The party who was injured must file a lawsuit within two years from the date of the injury or the case will be deemed to be time-barred.

Railroad Workers is subject to a standard four-year statute of limitations, according to 18 U.S.C. SS 1962(d). In addition, to show that the RICO conspiracy claim is barred from time the plaintiff must prove the pattern of racketeering.

Thus, the statute of limitations analysis applies only to Count 2 ("civil RICO conspiracy"). Eight of the nine lawsuits CSX used to establish its state claims were filed within two years prior to the time CSX filed its amended case in this case. Therefore, CSX cannot rely on those lawsuits.

To survive the RICO conspiracy claim the plaintiff must demonstrate that the actual act of racketeering is part of an attempt to defraud the public or hinder or interfere with the operation of legitimate business interests. A plaintiff must also prove that the racketeering behind the claim had a substantial impact on the public.

Fortunately the the CSX RICO conspiracy claim is invalid due to this reason. This Court has decided that a civil RICO conspiracy claim must be supported not only by one racketeering occurrence, but the pattern. CSX was not able to satisfy this requirement, and the Court decides that CSX's Count 2, (civil RICO conspiracies) is barred by the "catch all" statute of limitations found at West Virginia Code SS 555-2-12.

The settlement also requires that CSX to pay a penalty of $15,000 for MDE and to pay for the community-led, energy-efficient renovation of a Curtis Bay building to be used as an environmental education and research center. CSX must also make improvements at its Baltimore facility to increase safety and prevent future accidents. CSX must also pay an amount of $100,000 for Curtis Bay to a local nonprofit.

4. Representation

We represent CSX Transportation within a consolidated grouping of possible class actions brought by rail freight transportation service purchasers. Plaintiffs claim that CSX along with three other major U.S. freight railways conspired to fix prices for fuel surcharges in violation Section 1 of the Sherman Act.

Railroad Workers claimed that CSX was in violation of federal and state laws by conspiring to fix the fuel surcharges' prices and by purposely and intentionally scamming customers with its freight transportation services. The plaintiffs also alleged that CSX's price fixing scheme led to their injuries and damages.

CSX moved for dismissal of the suit arguing that the plaintiffs' claims were barred by the rules for injury discovery accrual. The firm argued that plaintiffs could not recover for the time she would reasonably have realized her injuries prior to when the statute ran out. The court rejected CSX's argument and held that the plaintiffs had presented sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they had the right to have learned of her injuries prior to the statute of limitations expiring.

CSX raised several issues on appeal, including:

It claimed that the judge who heard the case did not accept its Noerr–Pennington defence. It was required to present no new evidence. The court reexamined the verdict and concluded that CSX's argument, as well as its questioning regarding whether a B reading was a diagnosis or not of asbestosis and whether an official diagnosis was ever received, confused jurors and disadvantaged them.

Second, it claims that the trial court erred by the decision to allow a claimant an opinion of a medical judge who had criticized a doctor's treatment of the claimant. In particular, CSX argued that the expert witness of the plaintiff could have been permitted to use the opinion, but the court concluded that the opinion was not relevant and could be inadmissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 403.

Third, it argues that the trial court was unable to exercise its discretion by allowing the csx's accident reconstruction video, which demonstrates that the vehicle stopped for only 4.8 seconds, while the victim's testimony showed that she stopped for ten seconds. It further claims that the trial court was not given the authority to allow plaintiff to create an animation of the crash which did not accurately and accurately portray the scene.
