Contributory negligence in railroad passenger case cited
A crowded train left a passenger unable to seat himself. He rode standing on the platform edge by a car window, and a bump threw him onto the track injuring him. The court held contributory negligence barred relief, noting the railroad should provide seats but a passenger must use reasonable care.
