Because of the circumstances and vehicles involved in this tragic accident, the investigation will likely be focusing primarily on the events surrounding the cause. Police will look at the conditions of the driver prior to the accident, as well as all aspects of the operation of the train. Depending on the results of the investigation, there may possibly be grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit to follow afterward.
While it is entirely the choice of the victims’ family members to opt in favor of filing a claim for compensation, many choose to do so. Hospital bills, funeral costs, and the loss of future wages are all reasons why many family members make such a choice.
