Railroad Worker Awarded $3.7 Mill. In Lawsuit
A Wyoming jury has awarded $3.7 million to a local man who developed lung cancer after 37 years of working for BNSF Railway. The plaintiff claimed in his lawsuit that years of breathing in diesel fumes, silicone dust and asbestos while at work caused his cancer. His condition is fatal. The jury found BNSF was “negligent and violated federal regulations regarding the maintenance and operations of locomotives.”
