The untold story of what happened after the Lac Megantic rail disaster.br br In July 2013, a runaway train with more than 7 million litres of volatile crude oil crashed in a small Quebec town – leaving part of Lac Megantic incinerated...and 47 people dead.br Soon after of the crash – when many bodies were still being identified -- lawyers from America turn up in town, offering to help families fight for compensation.br br Working with them, behind the scenes is a shadowy Texan who's made a career out of turning disasters into dollars. He’s not a lawyer...but he has plenty of experience doing one thing: signing up victims of tragic accidents -- and referring them to law firms for a fee. A kind of ambulance chaser, or what’s called a “case runner.”br br It’s a practice that has grown so out of hand in Texas they made it illegal. But nothing stopped the Texan from making millions in Quebec.br br Working with our colleagues from Radio-Canada’s Enquete program, Mark Kelley reports on The Case Runner, next week on the fifth estate.
