Unusual Condition Seen Before Connecticut Train Derailment

Federal officials investigating the Connecticut train derailment report that the engineer described an unusual condition on the track before the train derailed.  What the unusual condition was has not been disclosed.  However, the National Transportation Safety Board stated that a joint bar, used to hold two sections of rail together, had been cracked and repaired during the month prior to the accident. Rail sections in the area of the derailment have been shipped to Washington D.C. for further examination.

CT MTA Train Injury Claims – Time Deadlines

The Metro-North Railroad train traveling through Bridgeport, Connecticut derailed and was struck by a train traveling on an adjacent track. The accident has left at least 70 people injured, including five critically.

The injured passengers will require compensation for their medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. To receive compensation, the injured will be required to meet certain time strict deadlines. If the strict deadlines are not met, the injured may not be able to recover compensation from the MTA – adding insult to injury.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is a public benefits corporation responsible for public transportation in 12 counties in southeastern New York, and 2 in Connecticut (pursuant to a contract with the Connecticut Department of Transportation).  Any claims against the MTA arising out of this collision could be subject to stringent notice requirements (including a 90-day deadline) and a 1-year statute of limitations.

Connecticut Train Derailment Leaves 70 People Injured

Two Metro-North passenger trains headed in opposite directions crashed during rush hour on Friday, leaving at least 70 people injured. Some of the injured remained hospitalized with serious injuries.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators are trying to determine if a broken rail caused Friday’s train derailment in Bridgeport, Connecticut.  A NTSB spokesman informed the media that the broken rail could have been caused by the accident itself, or it could have been broken before the collision. The NTSB has ruled out foul play.
