CASE SUMMARY:
In a written Opinion, St Clair County Circuit Judge James T. Corden refused to extend the Court of Appeals decision in Citizens Insurance v Tuttle (item number 299) to afford tort immunity to a railroad defendant in a personal injury action. Judge Corden held that the Tuttle Opinion "stands only for a 'tangible property' exception to tort liability and the defendant should not be accorded the benefit of tort immunity for plaintiff’s claim to economic losses below the statutory threshold."
