flag BNSF Railway appeals an $8 million verdict over asbestos deaths in Libby, claiming federal immunity.

flag 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. flag The 2024 ruling found BNSF liable for allowing asbestos-laden dust to accumulate, but the railroad claims immunity under federal transportation laws. flag The case, now before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, could impact over 200 similar cases. flag Despite a favorable decision, families remain uncertain if compensation will come before their lifetimes.
