California Train Wreck Victims Learn Metrolink’s Commuter Train Engineer Ran a Stop Signal
On September 12, 2008 a Metrolink commuter train collided with a freight train in Chatsworth, California killing at least 25 people and injuring 135 more. According to news sources the Metrolink train was carrying as many as 350 rush hour passengers when it slammed into a freight train in San FernandoValley.
Investigations have revealed that while traveling on a track, trains must go through a series of signals and each one of the signals must be obeyed. Officials believe that the Metrolink commuter train operator failed to stop at red stop signals, and that was the cause of the accident.
Our nation mourns as we continue to see the tragic affects of this train accident that never should have happened. Please keep these victims and their families in your prayers.
There is no doubt Metrolink and possibly other companies will have to take responsibility for this accident and the damages caused by their gross negligence. When they do, the victims and their families would be well advised to contact a California train wreck attorney to ensure their rights are fully protected.
Fortunately, these victims already have California’s best personal injury lawyer, John Bisnar and his staff looking after and protecting their rights. I know John Bisnar and can say there is no finer attorney to handle this sensitive case. Not only does he have experience handling California train accidents, he goes the extra mile for his clients.
If you or your loved ones were involved in this tragic accident, I strongly encourage you to contact Chatsworth Metrolink train wreck lawyer, John Bisnar; you’ll be glad you did.
