Everyone was at fault for the deadly Amtrak crash caused by a collision with a dump truck at a road crossing in Missouri that left four people dead, a series of lawsuits allege.

Several lawsuits filed by passengers of the train and their families allege the private railroad company that owns the tracks, BNSF, was repeatedly warned that the crossing was dangerous and did nothing about it. Most of those lawsuits also include Amtrak and the dump truck company, MS Contracting, as co-defendants. In turn, Amtrak and BNSF have sued MS Contracting for negligence in crossing the railroad track in a dangerous manner.
