Estate of Phillip Raymond Morgan, by Administrator, Personal Representative, Kera Morgan
v.
Union Pacific Railroad Company, a Delaware corporation
In this wrongful death claim brought under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA), the Estate of Phillip Raymond Morgan, by administrator/personal representative, Kera Morgan, appeals the grant of summary judgment in favor of Union Pacific Railroad Company (Union Pacific). The appellant argues: (1) the trial court erred when it concluded that Phillip’s suicide was an emotional injury as opposed to a physical injury resulting in death; (2) the trial court erred when it concluded that the Consolidated Rail Corp v. Gottshall “zone of danger test” applied to Phillip's suicide; and (3) the trial court erred when it concluded that the facts of this case did not meet the “zone of danger test.”
