Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed a 58-count lawsuit against Norfolk Southern Railway for a train derailment that released over 1 million gallons of hazardous chemicals and endangered the lives of 5,000 residents of East Palestine. The lawsuit seeks to make the company pay for the cleanup, environmental damage, groundwater and soil monitoring, and economic losses in the village and surrounding areas. Yost is committed to ensuring the company pays for the damages and that the residents are protected.
