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.
Twelve Mile is an unincorporated community in Adams Township, Cass County, Indiana. Its name is thought to come from its location that is approximately 12 miles from the cities of Logansport, Peru and Rochester, but this is just an old wise tale. The town was located on the twelve mile marker of the railroad that the town grew around. The eastern portion of the town was formerly known as Hen Peck; but as the two small towns grew they became one town that was referred to as Twelve Mile.
