Yvonne Krolikowski v. Chicago ‪&‬

Mrs. Krolikowski suffered personal injuries and her husband and daughter were killed when their car, which had stopped in front of the railroad crossing gates, was pushed onto the railroad crossing by Bourgeois moving car and was struck by a train operated by the Chicago & Northwestern Transportation Company, Inc. (C&NW). The jury determined that Bourgeois and the C&NW were both causally negligent, assigning 95 percent negligence to Bourgeois and 5 percent to the C&NW. We affirm that part of the trial courts order denying C&NWs motion for a directed verdict and reverse that part of the order granting C&NWs motion for a new trial on the issue of negligence.
