FELA Lawsuit

An employee of the Kansas City Southern Railway is suing the railroad after suffering injuries on the job. The man, Richard Beaver, claims to have suffered serious injuries atfter a train derailed last year.

Beaver claims that while working on a Kansas City Southern Railway train, Kinder Morgan Petcoke, L.P. negligently caused the train to derail. This, in turn, lead to the injury of Beaver’s lower back and other parts of his body.

Kinder Morgan Petcoke, L.P. handles millions of tons of petroleum coke, aggregates, soda ash and potash through terminals throughout the Texas Gulf Coast.

Under the Federal Employer’s Liability Act, Beaver is suing KCS for failing to provide him a safe working environment. He is seeking damages from KMP as well.
