Multiple claims for personal injury compensation may be made after a train and lorry collided at an unmanned rail crossing Suffolk on August 17.
Of the 21 people injured in the incident, six were said to be seriously hurt, one was in a critical condition and the other 14 were described as walking wounded.
The driver of the sewage tanker which was hit by the train was arrested immediately after the train accident on suspicion of dangerous driving.
The tanker was hit by the 17.31 National Express East Anglia service travelling between Sudbury and Marks Tey. The tanker was split in two by the incident and the front carriage of the two-car train derailed but remained upright.
Deputy Chief Constable Paul Crowther of the British Transport Police said, "Following yesterday's rescue operation, our main task today will be to gather physical and technical evidence."
It has not been reported whether any passengers who were on the damaged train are likely to make claims for personal injury compensation.
