In this particular case, as lawsuit is justified.
Metrolink was negligent. If I was a passenger, and discovered the engineers personal history, I would walk.
L.A. Times are being typical when trying to portray the engineer as a “victim” of circumstances. The man had a criminal record as well as a colored history. As a result of Metrolink’s neglect, innocent and unsuspecting people died or were seriously injured.
Actually, the biggest victim in this tragedy is the aggrieved PR lady, who quit. She was the front page story on Monday with a huge picture....a lot of negative comments from victims families and acquaintances about that.
