Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 19.000
Railroad’s Duty: Persons on Its Property
A railroad has a duty to use ordinary care to avoid injuring anyone who its employees knew, or
should have known, was on the railroad’s property and who they knew, or should have known, was
in danger.
If a railroad fails to perform this duty, then it is negligent.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
