Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the surprising results of railroad crossing accident cases brought before the Illinois Supreme Court from 1873-1884. The author presents a detailed account of the specific cases along with their outcomes. The text analyzes why railroad defendants were so successful in their appeals. It concludes that despite the reputation of juries as biased towards plaintiffs in personal injury cases, in these railroad cases, juries were in fact biased towards the railroad defendants and that this bias was enabled by errors in procedure in the lower courts.
