Train accidents often occur because of human error, problems with the track, equipment, and/or signal. Oftentimes many people are injured because of train accidents. There are many factors that lead to a railroad accident and there are many people who may be liable. It is the responsibility of the railroad company to maintain the tracks and the train. But truck and car drivers are responsible if they do not follow laws that are intended to protect against accidents. People who are injured in train accidents may be compensated for their injury, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Arcola is an unincorporated town in Lake Township, Allen County, Indiana. Once a booming train station for farm products and a regional U.S. postal center in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the town in more recent years has become a bedroom community of Fort Wayne.
