Operators of commuter trains, metroliners and the like must be competent to operate the vehicles or be subject to liability claims. In 2008 25 people died as a result of a Metrolink crash according to lawsuits that were recently filed. It is suggested in one of the lawsuits that one of the engineers who ran the Metrolink was incompetent and the company knew it. This still has to be proven in a court of law. However, negligent entrustment is a cause of action when one can prove the person entrusted with the safe operation of any type of vehicle was not competent to operate that vehicle.
