FILE - A black plume rises over East Palestine, Ohio, as a result of the controlled detonation of a portion of the derailed Norfolk Southern trains Monday, Feb. 6, 2023. A federal judge on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, has signed off on the $600 million class action settlement over last year's disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment in eastern Ohio, but many people who live near East Palestine are still wondering how much they will end up with out of the deal.
“Our pitch to the community is please give us time to explain why we think this is fair,” Morgan said. But the lawyers involved say there is no way at this point to address potential future health costs if someone were todown the road under appellate court rulings in the region. Residents can decide to accept money for property damage without taking the personal injury payment.. Many people are still reporting respiratory problems, unexplained rashes and other symptoms more than a year after the derailment while others have no health complaints.
But Morgan said the ultimate amount families receive could be significantly larger once a claims administrator considers individual factors.
