Jury Awards $246,000 Against Conrail for Lifting Injury

In Albany, New York, a jury in federal court awarded a Conrail materials handler $246,000 for a back injury he suffered lifting a heavy brake valve. The employee returned to work after medical treatment and without surgery, but continued to have chronic back problems. The evidence at trial showed that Conrail did not ship the brake valves to its Selkirk facility in the usual steel storage bins but instead shipped them loosely in cardboard boxes and then required the employees to lift and carry each heavy brake valve and place them in the bins by hand.

Awarded: $246,000
