\"Man<\/p>\n

Can the driver be held accountable for the train accident?<\/p>\n

With another train accident to add to the annual injuries in Los Angeles today, the question has to be asked, \u201cWho is at fault?\u201d<\/p>\n

As details come out, the conductor of the derailed Oxnard metro train maintains he followed protocol and tried to slow the train as much as possible. The troubling part about the accident comes in two parts.<\/p>\n

First, new information has come out about the driver of the truck.\u00a0 He drove the truck onto the tracks, facing down the tracks; it was not stalled across the tracks as originally believed.\u00a0 He then got out and fled the scene. While the driver\u2019s attorney claims he left to get help, he has been charged with a hit and run.<\/p>\n

Second, the issue has to be raised that this is the same intersection where two people were killed just last June. This intersection is known to be one of the most deadly in the train system, and yet nothing has been done to alter the way it is navigated. The transportation authority says there have been talks about building a bridge, either for the train or auto and foot traffic, but so far it is just that, TALK, and the injuries pile up.<\/p>\n

There are still too many variables to know how this will shake out for liability, but we know that blame can always be deflected when companies try hard enough.\u00a0 If you have unwittingly become the scapegoat for your boss, you need to protect yourself with the right employment attorney.<\/p>\n
