Metrolink Chatsworth Train Disaster Lawyer - Baum Hedlund

http://www.baumhedlundlaw.com/train2_press/chatsworth_train_collision.php - Mass disaster attorney Paul Hedlund spoke with KTLA Los Angeles news anchors regarding the September 12, 2008 Chatsworth, California Metrolink disaster. His law firm is currently representing several clients in wrongful death and personal injury claims for passengers from that train crash and more than a dozen passengers from the 2005 Metrolink Glendale derailment. Mr. Hedlund discusses Metrolink's liability in this case as well as Positive Train Control systems and other technology to prevent tragedies like this from happening in the future. He also mentions that currently there is no audible signal that sounds when an engineer passes a red light, unlike his own experience as a mechanical engineer where every critical system had an audible alarm. The NTSB adds that there is no excuse as to why we do not have Positive Train Control systems in effect today.
