Eleventh Circuit -- Roland L. Walker, et al vs CSX Transportation, Inc., et al

Roland L. Walker, et al vs CSX Transportation, Inc., et al 

   Absent proof that interior cargo doors could function as an effective fail-safe, no error in summary judgment for deft, as alleged failure to maintain was not a proximate cause.

   Plaintiff had earlier introduced proof of this from an expert who was TKO'd under Daubert, and also offered trade group safety rules.
