Woman sues family of teenager killed by train after she was injured by his flying bod
A teenager killed while crossing train tracks can be sued for injuries caused to a woman on the platform, when one of his severed body parts hit her, a court has ruled.
Hiroyuki Joho, 18, died when he ran in front of a 70mph Amtrak train at Edgebrook Metra station in Chicago in 2008. It was pouring with rain and the teen had an umbrella over his head.
His body was severed on impact, and a large part became airborne, flying about 100 feet onto the southbound platform, where it hit a commuter.

Wonder if suing the deceased relatives was a knee jerk reaction and she didn't know how else to get things off her chest?

Other people got hit and were going to sue but they didn't have the heart or stomach to do so.
