Philadelphia juries awarded sizable verdicts last week in two unrelated railroad injury actions. A $4.5 million verdict was handed up in a Federal Employers' Liability Act lawsuit brought by an Amtrak power line maintenance worker who broke both ankles after a roughly 40-foot fall allegedly caused by a rung gap on a utility pole, and a jury awarded $2.2 million to a conductor who claimed he suffered a permanent neck injury when he fell off a stopped flat car while trying to pull the lever on a stuck brake.
