flag Over 100 Norfolk Southern derailment residents seek to exit $600M settlement, citing fraud and delayed payments, but judge has previously rejected similar claims.

flag Over 100 residents in the Norfolk Southern derailment settlement are seeking to exit the $600 million agreement, alleging fraud and concealed contamination data, but class counsel and the railroad oppose the move, calling it a repeat of previously rejected claims. flag U.S. District Judge Benita Pearson had already dismissed 84 similar objections, ruling all non-opting-out members are bound by the deal. flag Class counsel argue the settlement’s personal injury payments acknowledge health risks, despite residents’ claims that a 2024 Zoom meeting downplayed dangers and promised compensation within 30 days—payments still pending for most.
