Railroad Car Accident Settlement Nets $1.1 Million for Iowa Man

Posted by Editor | Posted in Car Accident Cases

A 55-year-old Iowa man was recently awarded $1.1 million by a U.S. District Court during his civil personal injury suit against a Grand Rapids railroad company.  

Reginald Booker worked as a carman for CSX Railroad for 24 years but had to leave the job when a hopper car fell off its jacks and nearly crushed him in September 2003.

Booker suffered serious nerve, vertebrae and pelvis injuries from the train accident, and now walks with a cane and a limp because of his disabilities.

The railroad car accident verdict originally awarded $1.4 million but was reduced 25% due to Booker’s own “contributory negligence” during this Iowa personal injury incident.
