In the case of a railroad worker accident brought to court in
the 1900s, one of the defenses the railroad company used against
the plaintiff was the “fellow-servant” doctrine. What does this

The claims for such incidents are usually settled out-of-court,

The injured employee had assumed responsibility of the risks

The accident is attributed to the negligence of the
co-worker.
