Only a dozen lawsuits have been filed against Amtrak in the weeks since the deadly train crash on May 12th, but there are more to come, and there is a good chance many of the victims will end up without fair compensation for the injuries they suffered.
8 people were killed and over 200 injured when an Amtrak train derailed while rounding a curve in North Philadelphia. The train’s black box data has shown that it was traveling at a speed of 106 miles per hour in a 50 mile per hour zone.
We don’t usually talk about civil lawsuits for their capacity to take on terrorist groups and the institutions that support them, but that’s exactly what has been happening the last week in a US Eastern District court.
In the lawsuit Linde v. Arab Bank, the plaintiffs have claimed that Arab Bank PLC knowingly moved millions of dollars for the Islamist group Hamas to finance acts of violence. Mark S. Werber, a lawyer for American victims and family members in 24 terror attacks in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank from 2001 to 2004, said that Arab Bank knew that they were working for Hamas. “It wasn’t an accident or a mistake or just routine banking,” he said. “It was a choice that Arab Bank made.”
