$925,000 Settlement for Kansas City Southern Engineer Injured in Grade Crossing Collision
A KCS engineer operating a switch engine suffered a serious back injury when a tractor-trailer drove in front of the train causing the collision. Although there was no derailment, the KCS engineer was thrown around in the collision and wrenched his back due to slack. Prior to the collision, the KCS engineer was blowing the horn and ringing the bell. The trucking company blamed the layout of the crossing and the KCS crew.
As a result of the injury, the KCS engineer needed an operation on his back and could not return to work. The trucking company and KCS claimed the employee’s injury was not caused by the wreck and that the railroad worker could still hold a job. The case was settled approximately one (1) year after the injury. The railroad worker was represented by FELA attorney Bristol Baxley. Mr. Baxley is a partner in the law firm of Rome, Arata & Baxley. Hill v. Savage Industries et al.
