Jury Finds Crash Victim Was Negligent and Rejects Personal Injury Award

Posted by Editor | Posted in Find a Personal Injury Lawyer

An Ohio jury decided that the estate of a truck driver who died in a 2006 crash with a train should not be awarded any money for personal injury.

The jury ruled that the 62-year-old man was 51 percent negligent in the crash and that the railroad was 49 percent negligent but didn’t raise the level of “actual malice”.

The man was killed when his tractor-trailer hit a train when he was crossing the road. The intersection was not marked with light or gates at the time.

It’s a sad story when injured people and/or their families don’t get fair compensation for their injuries. If you’ve been injured, make sure you have a personal injury lawyer on your side.
