Case Details
Mr. Snell was run over and dragged by a locomotive during a switching operation, resulting in catastrophic injuries including amputations, fractured hip and ribs, punctured lung, head laceration, and trauma to shoulder and knee. He also suffered chronic pain and PTSD.
Additional Notes
The jury found BNSF 70% at fault and client 30% at fault, but recovery was not reduced due to BNSF violating a federal railroad safety regulation. BNSF appealed, but the verdict was upheld in full. BNSF's formal offer to compromise was $3,000,000.00.
