Case Details
Joel Mangiaracina suffered significant orthopedic injuries (pelvis, ankle, thoracic spine fractures) after his truck was struck by an Amtrak train at a BNSF railroad crossing with inadequate warning devices. He was ejected from the truck and landed 100 feet away.
Additional Notes
BNSF argued Joel was negligent and Contra Costa County was to blame. HMN presented evidence that BNSF knew the beach area was frequently used and failed to upgrade warning devices despite recommendations and a high accident rate. Settled for 30 times BNSF's highest pre-trial offer.
