Norfolk Southern has agreed to a $600 million settlement to resolve class-action lawsuits filed after a freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, spilling toxic chemicals into the community. The company said in a news release Tuesday that the settlement 'is another promise kept by Norfolk Southern to make it right for the people of East Palestine and the surrounding communities.' 'The agreement is designed to provide finality and flexibility for settlement class members.
'This could include healthcare needs and medical monitoring, property restoration and diminution, and compensation for any net business loss,' the company continued. 'In addition, individuals within 10-miles of the derailment may, at their discretion, choose to receive additional compensation for any past, current, or future personal injury from the derailment.' On Feb. 3, 2023, just before 9 p.m. local time, 38 cars of a freight train derailed off Taggart Street.
