Description
Missouri Pacific Railroad Company and Union Pacific Railroad Company (""Defendants"") appeal from a $1,250,000.00 judgment entered against them pursuant to a jury verdict in favor of their employee Kenneth Holley (""Plaintiff"") in an action brought pursuant to the Federal Employers' Liability Act, 45 U.S.C. §§ 51-60 (FELA) for injuries he sustained in installing a sheet metal hood on a railroad locomotive at Defendants' repair shop. On appeal, Defendants assert four points of error based on (1) the trial court's refusal of their tendered instruction on mitigation of damages; (2) its refusal to modify MAI 24.01 to submit Defendants' knowledge of the conditions which led to Plaintiff's injury; (3) admission of testimony that Plaintiff had suicidal thoughts; and (4) admission of evidence of Plaintiff's family status. We affirm. Plaintiff was employed by the Defendants as a boilermaker at their repair facility in North Little Rock, Arkansas. In that capacity, Plaintiff's principal duties involved sheet metal fabrication and repair, including removal and installation of various kinds of sheet metal coverings on diesel locomotives.
