It seems like the railroad is a dying industry. If people are suing them, won’t a large verdict put them out of business?
Actually, the commercial freight railroad industry is not dying and is quite healthy. With the ever-rising costs of fuel, many companies have turned to the railroad to transport large amounts of goods, rather than use commercial trucks. For example, CSX Transportation, Inc. submitted fourth-quarter earnings of $692 million in January of 2009 and revenue rose 4 percent to $2.7 billion. Similarly, Norfolk Southern Railway Company reported a fourth-quarter net income of $452 million in January of 2009, with quarterly revenue up 2 percent to $2.5 billion.

There is no doubt that historically the railroad industry has been a relatively dangerous industry. However, when an employee takes a job on the railroad, the law requires the railroad to provide a reasonably safe place to work. If the railroad breaks this promise and an employee is injured, the railroad is held responsible. The law does not allow them to defend themselves by asserting that the employee knew it was dangerous when he took the job.
