A jury on Tuesday, May 21 awarded more than $58 million to a Palmdale train yard worker who slipped and fell on top of a train while performing electrical repairs at the Kinkisharyo International train manufacturing yard in 2016.
According to the lawsuit filed in January 2018, Scipione was working as an independent contractor for Altech Services when he was called into work at 2 a.m. Feb. 2, 2016, and told by his supervisor that the repairs had to be completed by 5 a.m. After taking only a few steps, he slipped and suffered a fracture in his left foot.
Scipione went back to work the next day and worked full-time for nearly a year and a half. Two months after his fall, he visited a foot doctor for the first time and received surgery and was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome, a debilitating disease that forced him out of work.
