Description

Willie Roach brought this suit under the Federal Employers Liability Act and the Safety Appliance Act to recover damages for personal injuries received by him in the course of his employment as an engine foreman for the Fort Worth and Denver Railway. The injuries complained of were received in a fall which occurred during a switching operation when a grab iron and a still step on a tank car came loose as he attempted to mount the side of the moving car. The defendant, by its answer, admitted liability, but contended that if plaintiff sustained any injuries as alleged by him in his complaint that he recovered therefrom very shortly after the accident and was completely well and able to work at the time of the trial.
