Re: Hit by a train and need help
Looking only at the date of accident and you not mentioning that a lawsuit has been filed: You appear to have missed the statute of limitation to file suit against Metra and all responsible parties for the injuries you may have sustained. If so, you have no recourse and your chance of recovery is nil.
Although to confirm this, you should speak to an attorney, show all documentations you have and see what options you may still have.
Good luck,

Re: Hit by a train and need help
Please be advised that in Illinois you have two (2) years to either settle a personal injury claim or file a lawsuit against the responsible party. Since your injury occurred in 2002, it appears that the time frame has expired, however I recommend that you consult with an attorney to further evaluate any potential claims that you may have.
