Representative Cases

Cuslidge v. Union Pacific Railroad
Railroad failed to provide a safe work place. A railroad electrician filed a claim under the Federal Employers Liability Act against Union Pacific alleging that excessive walking in the workplace contributed to a painful inflammatory condition in his feet that ultimately required surgery. The Appeals Court affirmed the verdict, which granted compensation to Mr. Cuslidge for the injuries sustained during his employment.
