Rep. Elton Gallegly of Simi Valley has introduced legislation that would raise the liability cap for victims of passenger rail accidents from $200 million to $275 million.
While he said that may not be enough to cover damages, a previous bill raising the cap to $500 million failed.
The crash killed 25 people and injured more than 130 when the Metrolink train ran a red light and slammed into a freight train.
