A train crash that took place earlier this month in Canada has spurred a wrongful death lawsuit.
On July 6, an unattended parked train packed with 72 tankers of crude oil rolled downhill into a Quebec town. More than 20 cars derailed, and the tankers crashed and exploded. The accident killed 47 people.
On Monday, the guardian of a young girl whose father died in the accident filed a wrongful death lawsuit against railroad operator Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway Inc.; its chairman, Edward Burkhardt; its parent company, Rail World Inc.; fuel company World Fuel Services Corp.; and other companies tied to the disaster.
