Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA)
Appellate Court affirms $1.6 million judgment
A Wisconsin appellate court has affirmed a $1.6 million judgment in favor of a train conductor who was injured when the door to a train cab fell off its hinges and struck him.The news story does not state that the case was filed as a FELA case, but given that it was filed by a railroad employee against the railroad, it is clear that was the basis for the lawsuit. FELA makes railroads liable for injuries caused to its employees by defective equipment, and having a loose door on a train certainly qualifies as a legitimate FELA case.
