We at Bamieh and Erickson, PLC are deeply shocked and saddened by the recent Metro-Link train accident in Chatsworth, California near the Ventura / Los Angeles County line on Friday, September 12, 2008. The victims of this latest mass-transit accident, which killed over 25 people and injured more than 135 people, are in dire need of financial and blood donations. Donations are being accepted by the Red Cross and can be made by visiting www.givelife.org. Bamieh & Erickson has contributed to the victims’ fund and encourages others who are able to donate, to contact the Red Cross.
Attorneys at Bamieh & Erickson, PLC have been contacted regarding this catastrophe and would like to extend not only our sympathies, but also our professional experience to anyone who might have questions or concerns regarding this accident. We understand that in difficult and tragic experiences such as this, survivors and victims’ family members are often confused about their rights. You should not feel rushed or compelled to deal with issues of litigation immediately. Please know that our attorneys and legal staff are happy to simply help answer any questions you might have. However, in a case such as this, where another party is clearly at fault, and you or your family member were injured or killed, it is important to know your rights. We would like to help you understand and protect these rights. Most importantly, you should know that there is a time limit, or statute of limitations in personal injury and wrongful death cases such as the Metro-Link accident. This means that you and your family have a relatively short period of time in which to submit a claim for your injuries. Please contact us at (805) 585-3638 or by visiting our website www.bamieherickson.com for clarification on this or any other matter of law.
