Mr. Hedlund discusses Metrolink’s liability in this case as well as Positive Train Control systems and other technology that would have prevented tragedies like this one from happening. He also stated in his interview with KTLA Ch. 5 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.
Mass disaster lawyers from Baum, Hedlund are very familiar with the aftermath of train accidents and the personal injury and wrongful death litigation that follows after these train tragedies. The firm has over 20 years of experience investigating these crashes and representing train accident victims.
