"Train Accident Likely to Result in Successful Personal Injury Lawsuits"

Nearly 130 commuters and crew were injured after an April 19 train accident. Caused by an error because of a train engineer, Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road trains bumped into each other in the Penn Station tunnel. Since both railroads are liable for the train accident injuries, personal injury lawsuits are believed to be easily attainable. Amtrak is acknowledging fault in the train accident.

Workers not directly involved with the actual bumping of trains may also have a case under the Federal Employers'' Liability Act. The train accident personal injury lawsuits that are filed may include pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses.
