We act for an English Claimant, who sustained serious injuries in an accident in Valparaiso, Chile.
Our client had been on a cruise. The accident occurred while he was on an excursion to Valparaiso in Chile, which included a ride on a funicular railway.
Some of the other people on the excursion had already boarded the carriages and our client was one of the last people in the queue. As he stepped onto the carriage the funicular train started to move upwards, suddenly and without warning, and he was crushed between the carriage and the wall. He sustained serious, multiple injuries.
A claim is being pursued in Chile directly against the company which owns the funicular railway.
