Why is Amtrak Legally Liable for Philadelphia Train Derailment?

Like airplanes, passenger trains have a black box that enables the National Traffic Safety Bureau (NTSB) to investigate possible causes of the accident. The investigation has already found that the derailment was caused by the train going around a curve at more than 100 miles per hour when the speed limit on that turn was half that speed. Amtrak can be held responsible for a negligent employee or condition that causes a derailment, depending on the circumstance. Our Philadelphia train derailment attorneys have already begun preparing a case on behalf of our clients. We are the premier personal injury law firm in Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania because our attorneys are aggressive, detail-oriented and experienced at taking on high profile personal injury lawsuits. We work hard, win cases and have the skill and expertise you need to take on a large corporation like Amtrak.
