PHILADELPHIA – A state court judge has ordered the conductor of an Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia in May 2015, resulting in the deaths of eight people and injuries to more than 200, to officially verify his complaint and disclose his full address to defense counsel.
Judge Arnold L. New ruled March 9 that plaintiff Brandon Bostian of Boston, Mass. must provide proper verification of his lawsuit and his address to opposing counsel within 10 days, despite his attorney stating that information should be omitted for his client’s protection.
