Attorneys T.H. Lyda and Richard Sigurdson obtained a dismissal for two major railroads with prejudice in a toxic tort case. One of the carriers was named in the matter as a successors-in-interest to the Plaintiff’s former railroad employer. The motion for summary judgment argued that the Plaintiff failed to allege sufficient evidence to establish that the railroad was in fact the successor to his former employer. As to the other railroad Plaintiff failed to come forward with any evidence that could establish liability on the carrier. As a result, the Plaintiff consented to a full dismissal of the case.
