Liability Risk and Insurance
Tube derailment
Liability, at least not involving serious injury as the 11 hurt all left hospital the same or the next day, is uncertain in
the Chancery Lane derailment of a Central Line train on London Underground on 25 January. The line will stay closed for at
least three weeks while new bolts are fitted to thousands of under-carriage traction motors and testing by Health and Safety
inspectors.
