Our client’s husband was working as a federal grain inspector at a grain elevator. His job required him to inspect grain as it was being loaded into railroad cars. The grain elevator operator moved the train while our client was on top causing him to fall where he died beneath the wheels of the train. During our investigation we discovered that the grain facility had not trained its employees in the proper method of moving railcars at its facility. This was despite the fact that they did have written policies in place that specified the movement of such railcars. Even though our client’s employer carried workers’ compensation insurance, we were able to make a “third party” claim against the owner of the grain elevator. Our client was left a widow with three small children to raise on her own. The case was settled while in litigation, based on the negligence of the train operator of the grain elevator.
