A jury has awarded a former Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad conductor $1.6 million after he slipped and injured his back at a rail yard in Whitefish.
The jury determined Thursday night after a four-day trial that BNSF was 85 percent to blame for the early 2006 accident while conductor Patrick Cheff was 15 percent to blame.
Montana Injury Attorney Terry Trieweiler said that his client was injured because he slipped and fell while entering a locker room.
