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.
Milan is a town in Franklin and Washington townships, Ripley County, Indiana, United States. The population was 1,816 at the 2000 census. The town's name is pronounced differently from the English name for the Italian city of the same name. Milan High School won the Indiana state basketball championship against Muncie Central High School in 1954. The signifance of their victory was that Milan was the smallest-populated high school in the U.S. to win a state championship in national history. The 1986 film Hoosiers is based on the story of the 1954 Milan Team. While it is often claimed that Milan is the subject of a volume of poetry entitled "Pop. 359" written in 1941 by Carl Wilson under the pseudonym of Tramp Starr, that book is actually about the nearby town of Moores Hill.
