Accident

On January 16, 1995, Barton was severely injured in a train accident. As she was exiting a Metra commuter train in the suburb of Winnetka, where she taught violin lessons, her violin case became caught in a closing door.

Barton sued Metra and in 1999, the case went to court. Metra argued that Barton made the choice not to let go of the violin case due to the value of the instrument, a 400-year-old Amati valued at around $500,000, and thus she carried most of the blame for her injuries. The jury decided otherwise, however, and awarded Barton $29 million. They only assigned her 4.5% of the fault in the case. Metra changed its conductor safety procedures following the accident and made other changes to the trains themselves.
