A Santa Clara County Superior Court lawsuit stemming from the 2021 mass shooting at the Santa Clara Transportation Authority rail yard is allowed to proceed after a judge ruled against VTA's attempt to dismiss the case.

The lawsuit, filed by a family of one of the victims of the 2021 mass shooting, is seeking damages from VTA, the Santa Clara County Sheriff, and Universal Protection Service for negligence, assault, battery, false imprisonment, and wrongful death.

VTA settled claims in 2022 from eight other families who lost loved ones in the same incident, paying the families $8 million. The 2021 shooting took place on May 26, 2021, at VTA's Guadalupe Division Facility when Samuel James Cassidy, 57, opened fire.
