Strange Accident

[NW Mailing List]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they sue the railroad.
If the facts are as reported (and we know that sometimes the papers omit or gloss over some relevant facts on rare occasion), I would be shocked if they won.  In some jurisdictions, there are provisions under which the railroad could actually counterfile for attorney fees incurred in defending such a suit.  And the engineers suing for negligent infliction of mental distress is not unfounded.
