The Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company v. Daniel T. Jackson court case was a dispute between the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company and Daniel T. Jackson regarding compensation for injuries sustained by Jackson while working for the railway company.
The key details are that Jackson, an employee of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company, brought a lawsuit under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) to recover damages for injuries he sustained due to the railway company's alleged negligence. The case was initially heard in the Federal District Court, which directed a verdict in favor of the railway company. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit later reversed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings. The railway company then petitioned the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled in favor of Jackson, finding that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support the employee's claim.
