Lawyers say only 22 of the nearly 2,000 households in the small Ohio town where the derailment happened in February 2023 opted out of the deal before the July 1 deadline.
The settlement offers payments of $ 10,000 for injuries, but accepting that would mean that residents won’t be able to sue the railroad if they develop cancer or other serious health conditions.
A federal judge has given the deal preliminary approval, but a hearing will be held in late September to determine if the deal should go through.
