Union Pacific Railroad

In 2002, Missy Martin's car stalled on a Castle Rock railroad crossing. A train slammed into her car, leaving the 19 year old with irreversible brain damage. The jurors found that Union Pacific was negligent in the accident because they knew the crossing was dangerous and should have stopped well before the intersection. The jury awarded Martin and her family $6 million for future medical expenses, $4 million in punitive damages, $350,000 for permanent impairment, $150,000 for pain and suffering, and $600,000 for past medical expenses.
