Description

This appeal involves a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, David L. Cross, against the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, defendant, in a personal injury suit brought under the Federal Employers Liability Act, 45 U.S.C.A. Sec. 51 et seq. Upon a jury finding of total damages to Cross in the sum of $30,000, and findings that the negligence of Missouri Pacific was the proximate cause "in whole or in part, of the injuries," the trial court rendered judgment for Cross in the entire amount, although there were jury findings that Cross was contributorily negligent and that his negligence amounted to thirty percent of the entire negligence which caused his injuries.
