BNSF Railway appeals an $8 million verdict over asbestos deaths in Libby, claiming federal immunity.
Two Libby, Montana, residents who died from mesothelioma linked to asbestos contamination from a rail yard are at the center of a legal battle, as BNSF Railway appeals an $8 million verdict.
The 2024 ruling found BNSF liable for allowing asbestos-laden dust to accumulate, but the railroad claims immunity under federal transportation laws.
The case, now before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, could impact over 200 similar cases.
Despite a favorable decision, families remain uncertain if compensation will come before their lifetimes.
