Liability Risk and Insurance
HSE report on Potters Bar rail crash equivocal
The second interim report by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) into the Potters Bar derailment, which caused seven deaths
and more than 70 injuries, stays with their initial assessment of causation by loose connecting nuts. However, their findings
and indications of possible liability leave matters less than clear, the survivors and victims’ families calling for a Public
Inquiry.
