Does not imply wrongdoing — many cases are dismissed or resolved without findings of liability.
This is an FELA case arising out of an accident that occurred at the railroad's intermodal facility in which a railroad employee was crushed by a container box being lifted off of a holster truck. The jury entered a verdict in favor of the employee, determining she was zero percent at fault for the accident, despite allegations that she had failed to set the holster truck brakes. The railroad moved for a new trial, raising several evidentiary issues and asserting that the jury's failure to find the employee contributorily negligent was against the clear weight of the evidence. The trial court denied the motion. We affirm the trial court's order on jury verdict, as remitted.
