A federal judge has approved a $600 million class-action settlement for residents within 20 miles of the 2023 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Approximately 55,000 claims were filed, with objections raised around the sufficiency and timing of the settlement. Payments will range up to $70,000 for property damage and $25,000 for health issues for those affected, with the first checks expected before year's end.
