An Amtrak train struck and fatally injured a person near the Cornwells Heights Station around noon on a recent weekday. The incident caused the Trenton regional rail line to be suspended for an investigation.
There are various ways a person could be hit by an Amtrak vehicle, including their own actions, the actions of others, and accidents as simple as tripping. The details in this case were not revealed early on, and police were said to be investigating what happened.
For the family, a full investigation could be beneficial. Any time your loved one is killed in an accident caused by someone else, hiring a wrongful death attorney could be essential to getting all of the facts about what took place. A full investigation may help to support your claims against those at fault.

Your attorney works to learn about the operators, the conditions at the time of the incident, and the maintenance and upkeep of the system, looking specifically for any indications that an injury could have been avoided.
