Martin Griffin Missouri Cases

Martin Griffin appealed the trial court's entry of summary judgment on his Federal Employees Liability Act (FELA) claim for work-related injuries against Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation. The Railroad argued Griffin's claims were barred by the statute of limitations and a prior release. The appellate court reversed the summary judgment, holding that a genuine issue of material fact existed regarding the accrual date of Griffin's FELA claim, making it a question for the jury. The court declined to rule on the release issue, as its relevance was contingent on the accrual date.
