A CSX locomotive conductor was badly injured when the train he was on collided into a tractor-trailer at a crossing at a northern Kentucky coal depot facility. The conductor had previous surgery on his cervical spine for an injury in the past at the time of the collision. When the big truck didn't stop at the crossing and the coal train slammed into it, the conductor re-injured his spine and had to have extensive surgery again. He was not able to return to work and couldn't find any jobs where he lived. Both the trucking company and the railroad blamed each other for the collision and even tried to blame the conductor. They also tried to say that the conductor's problems were due to the first spine surgery years before, and not from the train wreck. Days before trial in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, the case settled for $550,000.

Awarded: $550,000
