Michael V. Kaplen, a personal injury lawyer in Manhattan who writes the Brain Injury News and Information Blog, posted an article today on his blog about a former train conductor who reached a settlement with his former employer stemming from a train crash that occurred outside of Los Angeles, Ca. The reported amount of the settlement was $8.5 million.

The man suffered a mild concussion following the accident. But soon thereafter, he started exhibiting behavior and personality changes. It was shown that the structure of his brain was substantially altered following the train crash.
