When the railroad injury case went to trial, we brought in several co-workers to testify about this practice. Doctors testified about the severity of our client’s injury. The jury awarded a total of $2.4 million in damages, but reduced that amount by 50%, finding that our client was 50% at fault for causing his accident by not looking where he was stepping. This left a net award to our client of $1,200,000.
