Wrongful Death
Surviving Parents/Wrongful Death Plaintiffs v. Railroad. U.S. District Court Eastern District of Missouri. Early morning trespass by plaintiffs, adult son on the railroad’s right of way. The trespasser was struck and killed by a train. Plaintiffs’ asserted the railroad negligently allowed residents to traverse its tracks, failed to fence the right of way, failed to provide warnings, and failed to patrol the right of way in congested areas. Through aggressive early pre-discovery investigation Mr. Brasher of Boyle Brasher LLC established that the trespasser was intoxicated, that he had been sitting between the rails of the track prior to being struck, and that he had been drinking before the accident at a bar owned by his parents, the plaintiffs. After these facts were disclosed to plaintiffs’ counsel, the case was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice at a very early stage with no payments of any kind by the defendant railroad to plaintiffs.

Traffic Violations
Plaintiffs, Automobile Driver and Passenger v. Trucking Company and Driver. Circuit Court of Madison County, Illinois. The deceased automobile driver’s estate and the surviving passenger who suffered severe spinal injuries with quadriplegia and a traumatic brain injury sued the driver of a tractor trailer and the trucking company as a result of a collision between the automobile and a tractor trailer as the tractor trailer backed out of a logistics company driveway onto a public street. We assisted Mr. Brasher and Mr. Nash in defending the trucking company and truck driver and prosecuting a counterclaim against the driver’s estate and a third-party claim against the logistics company. By deposing an employee of the logistic company, We established that the automobile driver was speeding at the time of the collision. We also obtained the decedent driver’s cellular phone records and deposed an employee of the wireless communication company which resulted in evidence that the automobile driver was talking on the phone with a friend seconds before the collision. We researched and wrote several winning briefs and argued before the trial court on issues which led to resolution of the claims below plaintiffs’ expectations.

Slip and Fall Injury
On January 2, 2015 Ralph Godsy, Boyle Brasher Partner, obtained summary judgment on all counts for a BBLLC client facing a Premises Liability claim in Madison County, Illinois. The plaintiff claimed that water on an interior stairway caused her to slip and fall. She claimed the business owner was negligent for failing to remove the water and/or for failing to warn of its presence. She claimed that as a consequence of this negligence she suffered an ankle fracture that required surgery resulting in economic damages – lost wages and the cost of medical treatment – and non-economic damages – pain, suffering, and disfigurement. In his motion for summary judgment, Ralph argued that as the water had been tracked inside on the shoes and clothes of persons walking through the snow on the parking lot, the business owner was shielded from liability under Illinois’ “Natural Accumulation” rule. Ralph further argued that his client was entitled to summary judgment under contract law because, prior to the incident, the plaintiff had voluntarily signed an informed consent/liability waiver and release form that specifically referred to slip and fall injuries at the facility. No appeal was filed.
