A lawsuit links deaths, including a 1-week-old baby's, to the 2023 East Palestine train derailment, citing mishandled cleanup and inadequate warnings.

A new lawsuit has been filed, alleging that the 2023 East Palestine train derailment led to several deaths, including a 1-week-old baby. The lawsuit claims Norfolk Southern railroad and its contractors mishandled the cleanup, while EPA and CDC officials failed to warn residents about health risks. At least nine other lawsuits have been filed, arguing that the railroad's greed caused the derailment and the $600 million class-action settlement is insufficient. The lawsuit seeks truth and accountability, with nearly 750 represented by attorney Kristina Baehr.
