Amtrak's new ticket rules won't let passengers sue in a crash
Passengers and their survivors won a $265 million court settlement with Amtrak after a 2015 derailment in Philadelphia killed eight people and injured hundreds more.
But if such a crash happened today, the victims would not be able to sue. That's because of a clause the passenger rail line quietly added to its ticket purchases in January, which forces disputes into arbitration with no right to go before a judge or jury.
