GERING,
Neb. (AP) -
A male worker who was injured at a Union Pacific facility when a chair he was sitting on broke has been awarded more than $920,000 by a jury in western Nebraska.
Dan Anderson filed the lawsuit in March 2010, alleging that the railroad failed to provide him a safe place to work.
The accident occurred on Oct. 2, 2007, when Anderson was 55 and working as a control operator at Union Pacific’s South Morrill facility in Scotts Bluff County.
The verdict was rendered last week after a three-day trial
