Outcome

The circuit court granted Union Pacific's motion for summary judgment, upholding a 2007 settlement release that barred the plaintiff's subsequent claim for injuries from toxic exposure. The court found the release valid under FELA because it was limited to known occupational exposures rather than exempting the railroad from all liability.
