Keegan Wins $6000 in Railroad Death Suit
Mrs. Christina Keegan was awarded $6000 damages by a Green County circuit court jury for the death of her husband Richard Keegan in a February 21, 1945 collision with a Milwaukee passenger train at the 13th Avenue crossing. The verdict breakdown included $4000 pecuniary loss, $1200 for companionship, $400 for pain and suffering, and $683.10 for medical and funeral expenses. The jury did not find that the railroad failed to exercise ordinary care in whistle blowing by a close 10-2 vote, but 11-1 supported the claim that such failure caused the accident. The case followed an April 16, 1945 death and involved the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific railroad.
