CSX Transportation Inc. was not liable for the 2006 death of a conductor from a heart attack, a Florida appeals court has ruled, upholding a lower court ruling. Florida's First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee on Monday ruled that the lower court was correct in granting a motion for directed verdict in the case after ruling that railroads have no duty to anticipate potential medical emergencies not caused by workplace hazards.
