Authorities are still looking for answers to questions surrounding the cause of May 12th’s fatal crash and a representative of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said it might be a year before any conclusion can be reached.
Messa & Associates Representing Victim of Amtrak Derailment
Messa & Associates founder, Joseph L. Messa, Jr., represents Amtrak crash victim Trevor Beddoe, a Long Island City, NY resident who boarded the train in Philadelphia just minutes before it derailed. Mr. Beddoe sustained a traumatic brain injury, fractured shoulder requiring surgery, fractured clavicle, five fractured ribs, lung trauma/lung contusions, and other internal injuries, abrasions, contusions, and orthopedic injuries. Mr. Messa filed the personal injury claim in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on May 20, 2015. The claim includes counts of negligence and recklessness against the National Passenger Railroad Corporation (Amtrak) and against the engineer of Amtrak train 188, Brandon Bostian, who operated the train at more than double the posted speed limit at a sharp curve at Frankford Junction in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia.
