Case Details

Young conductor Mike Schnittgen suffered PTSD and back injuries leading to spinal fusion when his train nearly collided with a 'slot train' due to a welder's failure to properly close and secure a mainline switch in 'dark territory'.

Additional Notes

BNSF assigned a welder instead of an experienced worker to the task. BNSF produced biased experts, but the jury saw through their attempts to confuse and mislead.
