Family of man fatally struck by train awarded $1 million
On April 10, the family of a man who was found dead next to railroad tracks after a night of drinking was awarded a little more than $1 million. Michael Barton was seen leaving the Porter Cocktail Lounge at about 11:30 p.m. His body was found at the nearby tracks the next morning. Investigators determined that the massive blunt force injuries were the result of being struck by a train. His family claimed that he had been drinking in the bar since 2:30 p.m. and was served repeatedly despite being visibly intoxicated.
