At risk of starting another round of "Trespasser sues for megabucks" stories
in net.legal, here's a story.

A couple of years back there was a fatal railroad crash just north of Boston.
Four people were killed, three of them railroad employees. The fourth, however,
was a railroad buff who had talked one of the engineers into letting him ride
in the locomotive cab, against company policy and instructions to employees.
Now, (you guessed it) the guy's widow is suing the Boston and Maine for her
husband's death. 

Is there any chance that the B&M could countersue the man's estate for his
action in suborning one of their employees to dereliction of duty, thus 
involving the company in an expensive lawsuit?
