METROLINK CRASH INJURES CAR & COMMUTER TRAIN PASSENGERS. PACOIMA LAWYERS ARE HERE TO HELP YOU.

Posted On: December 30, 2009 by The Rudman Law Firm, PLC

So Cal train accidents can involve commuter trails, freight rail lines, cars, or pedestrians, and that means that road vehicle or train occupants can get hurt or killed in crashes. When a commuter train is involved in a crash, multiple partied may be responsible: train engineers, rail maintenance companies, Metrolink, and others. Discovering who is to blame is complicated, so if you or a loved one has been involved in a train-related accident in the San Fernando Valley, get legal help now at 1-800-ALAWPRO.

A San Fernando Valley chain-reaction crash involving a Metrolink commuter train resulted in the injuries of 6 people including train, car and pickup truck occupants. The train hit a pickup truck that had been struck by a car attempting to avoid an ambulance. The crash happened on railroad tracks running parallel to a major road in Pacoima. Four car and truck passengers suffered major injuries while 8 train passengers had minor injuries.

Meanwhile Metrolink is in the news for other reasons: bypassing a federally safety requirement. Apparently Metrolink was allowed a waiver, allowing the rail service to bypass posting signs reminding their train operators to slow down after exiting a rail station. An LA area train crash that killed more than two dozen people last year allegedly involved the engineer speeding after leaving a station.
