Lisa Boyd was employed by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and worked
at their intermodal facility in Memphis. While working on moving a 40,000-pound
container from a truck to a railcar, a malfunction caused the container
to pin her between the container and the back of the truck it was being
removed from. She suffered physical injuries and PTSD. A jury in Memphis
awarded her $5,000,000 for her injuries. That award was reduced the trial
judge to $4,500,000.
