Federal Appeals Ruling Opens Door for Lawsuits Against Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd

Personal Injury Lawsuits Allowed for Train Derailments

Legislation passed by Congress, which entitles victims of train derailments to sue for personal injury, has been upheld in a federal appeals court. The decision comes following a deadly derailment in North Dakota.

The ruling makes possible the likelihood of residents of Minot, ND., reviving personal injury lawsuits against Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd, resulting from a derailment on the western edge of the city in 2002.
