Some Ohio residents can now get $25,000 for injuries in $600 million train derailment settlement
People who live near East Palestine. Ohio, can now get $25,000 apiece for any injuries they sustained after last year’s disastrous Norfolk Southern freight train derailment on top of whatever money they get for property damage as part of the $600 million class-action settlement.

For East Palestine residents who worry about the possibility of developing cancer down the road even $25,000 may not seem like enough.
