Description
In an action for personal injuries pursuant to the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA), a jury found defendant to be liable and awarded damages. The trial court granted defendant's motion for new trial, but only on the issue of damages. Plaintiff appeals the portion of the trial court's judgment which set aside the jury verdict and granted a new trial on damages. Defendant cross-appeals the trial court's judgment on the issue of liability. We reverse and remand for a new trial on all issues. Plaintiff 1 was employed by the Missouri Pacific Railroad as a rate clerk in the Missouri Pacific office building at 210 North Thirteenth Street in St. Louis, Missouri. On December 12, 1986, shortly after noon, plaintiff was returning to her office on the fourth floor with lunch she had purchased for herself and four other people. As she reached the fourth floor, plaintiff stepped off the elevator, which had not yet reached floor level. Plaintiff tripped and fell, then slid across the floor and hit her head on the brick wall across from the elevator. Plaintiff brought a FELA action to recover for her injuries which resulted from this accident.
