Description

WILLIAM M. BYRNE, District Judge: On February 13, 1953, Zane Walrod was injured while employed by the Southern Pacific Company (the Company). Pursuant to the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA), Walrod brought suit against the Company for damages. Walrod's amended complaint filed on March 19, 1962, alleged that as a result of the Company's negligence the injury he incurred had manifested itself as multiple sclerosis. In November, 1962, Walrod was awarded a judgment of $50,000.00 as compensation for the ""total and permanent disability"" which he allegedly suffered in the 1953 accident. This judgment was subsequently satisfied by the Company.
