A federal judge has approved a $600 million class action settlement over a Norfolk Southern train derailment in eastern Ohio, but residents near East Palestine are still uncertain about their individual compensation. The settlement will resolve claims against the railroad and other defendants involved, but confusion remains regarding possible future lawsuits against government entities. Residents have until July 1 to opt out of the deal if they feel it doesn't provide sufficient compensation, with a claims center opening in East Palestine to assist with settlement distribution.
