Metrolink now denies responsibility for the crash pending the completion of the NTSB investigation).

This Metrolink accident has many possible culpable parties and investigating it to the fullest extent of the law is critical to the success of your case.
Arguably the two most important questions should be: is my lawyer going to leave no stone unturned and do what it takes within the law to ensure my family and I have been fully and fairly compensated for our losses; and will my case make a difference. In other words, will my case change the way things are done to prevent another terrible tragedy and so that another family won't have to go through what my family has endured.

Mary: you should seek medical attention for both psychological issues (PTSD, anxiety, shock) and any aches and pains that may arise in the days to come.

Metrolink has amassed the most fatalities among commuter railroads of similar size in the United States over the last decade, a statistic boosted in part by three deadly train collisions in the past five years, according to federal reports.
