Commentary
It is difficult to imagine how this accident occurred but nonetheless it did. I wish full recovery for all those involved. An independent investigation is needed to determine liability in this accident. If the reports are accurate and a driver backed into the train near the station that person could face liability in personal injury claims. However it should be noted if multiple claims arise (and it appears that more than one person was injured) most people do not carry enough insurance to facilitate a high quantity of claims. To be fully compensated other parties or theories of liability must be identified which speaks to the necessity of the investigation. Otherwise a divvying of resources could occur.
