The statute of limitations for state law claims is two years from the date of injury. This is referred to as the "injury discovery rule." The person who is injured must file a suit within two years from the date of the injury or the case will be barred.
A RICO conspiracy claim is subject to a four-year standard time limit, as per 18 U.S.C. SS 1962(d). Additionally, in order to establish that the RICO conspiracy claim is barred by time the plaintiff must demonstrate the pattern of racketeering.
Therefore, the above statute of limitations analysis applies only to the 2nd count ("civil RICO conspiracy"). Because eight of the nine lawsuits relied on by CSX to prove its state claims were filed more than two years before CSX filed its amended complaint in this case, reliance on those suits is time-barred.
A plaintiff must demonstrate that the racketeering that prompted the RICO conspiracy claim was part of a conspiracy or interference with legitimate business interests. A plaintiff must also show that the racketeering underlying the claim had a substantial impact on the public.
Fortunately, CSX's RICO conspiracy claim is not valid because of this.

We represent CSX Transportation within a consolidated grouping of possible class actions filed by rail freight service buyers. Plaintiffs claim that CSX along with three other major U.S. freight railways conspired to fix fuel surcharge prices in violation Section 1 of Sherman Act.
The lawsuit claimed that CSX infringed on federal and state law by participating in a conspiracy to systematically fix the price of fuel surcharges, as well as by knowingly and intentionally defrauding purchasers of its freight transportation services. The plaintiffs also claimed that CSX's fuel price fixing scheme caused them injury and damages.
CSX moved to dismiss the suit, arguing that the plaintiffs' claims are time-barred under the rule of accumulation of injuries. The company claimed that plaintiffs could not be compensated for the amount of time she could reasonably have discovered her injuries prior to when the statute of limitations expired. The court ruled against CSX's motion and found that the plaintiffs had presented sufficient evidence to demonstrate that they should have discovered her injuries prior to the expiration date of the statute of limitations.
On appeal, CSX raised several issues, including the following:
It first argued that the trial court erred in not allowing its Noerr Pennington defense, which required that it introduce no new evidence. In an appeal of the jury's verdict the court concluded that CSX's questions and arguments regarding whether a B-reading was a sign of asbestosis and whether an asbestosis diagnosis was ever made to the jury and affected it.
Second, it claims that the trial court erred in the decision to allow a claimant an opinion from a medical judge who criticized the treatment of a doctor to the claimant. Particularly, CSX argued for the expert witness for the plaintiff to be allowed to make use of the opinion. However the court decided that the opinion was unimportant and was not admissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 403.
Third, it argues that the trial court abused its discretion when it accepted the csx's accident reconstruction video, which demonstrates that the vehicle stopped for only 4.8 seconds, while the victim's testimony indicated that she had stopped for ten seconds. Furthermore, it claims that the trial court did not have the authority to permit the plaintiff to introduce an animation of the accident , as it was not able to fairly and accurately depict the accident as well as the scene of the accident.
