Text
In all actions brought against a railroad corporation under or by virtue of any of the
provisions of this chapter to recover damages for personal injuries to, or the death of, any
employee, the fact that the employee had been guilty of contributory negligence shall not bar a
recovery, but the damages shall be diminished by the jury in proportion to the amount of
negligence attributed to such employee. No such employee who may be injured or killed shall
be held to have been guilty of contributory negligence in any case where the violation by such
railroad corporation of any state or federal statute, enacted for the safety of employees,
contributed to the injury or death of such employee.
