Man Killed After Falling Onto Train Tracks
An unidentified man died last night after falling onto the electrified third rail at Malden Center Station. A spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority told the Boston Globe that the cause of the fall is under investigation.
The outcome of the investigation into the cause of this man's fall will be interesting from a personal injury perspective. Under the Massachusetts "Wrongful Death Statute" (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 229), the estate of a deceased person can recover monetary damages when the death was brought about by the negligence or "willful, wanton or reckless" conduct of a third party.
