OBSTRUCTED VIEW CAN CAUSE DEADLY TRAIN ACCIDENT. CALL RAIL CRASH LAWYERS OF LA COUNTY.
Train crashes have become an all too common occurrence in California. Commuter rail systems like Caltrain and Metrolink as well as Amtrak have had multiple fatal accidents in the past 12 months. One of the most dangerous spots for trains and railroad accidents are the crossings. With so many trains in use in populated areas, more and more accidents are occurring at RR crossings. If a train track crossing lacks appropriate signage, warning lights, alarm bells, and gates, or if it is not properly maintained for visibility, the results can be catastrophic. The family of a man killed when he was hit by an Amtrak train is suing the train company, railway company, as well as the city and county where deadly crash occurred.

In the Amtrak lawsuit, the victim’s family is suing for negligence and wrongful death. The man was hit and killed by an Amtrak train in Las Vegas as he crossed the tracks. The railroad crossing had a sign but no other warning system. The suit claims that the victim’s sightline was blocked by overgrown vegetation. That crossing was the location of another death in January.
