Many years ago, a deadly train accident occurred in Miles City, Montana, resulting in the death of 47 individuals. The cause of the train accident was due to an old bridge - which had been weakened by heavy rain - collapsing. The train, also known as the Olympian Flyer, plunged into the creek underneath the bridge. Unfortunately, bridges that were built poorly or are not properly maintained could have been the cause of your loved one's fatal train accident. Contact a Montana Train Accident lawyer today!
