Norfolk Southern’s legal problems are ballooning as the U.S. Department of Justice is going after the rail company in a major civil lawsuit.
Legal action against Norfolk Southern started just days after a toxic train derailment in East Palestine last month.We obtained nearly 70 pages of emails from the Pennsylvania Governor’s office which show rolling updates on the response from day one.About a half hour later, help from Beaver County, Pennsylvania rushed across the state line.Two days later, the Ohio EPA recommended a one-mile evacuation after one rail car with vinyl chloride showed an increasing temperature.
"EPA is coming in under its jurisdiction of protecting the environment,” said Michael Benza, Professor of Practice at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. Professor Benza said this action will try to restore the environment to what it was before the derailment and make sure it’s safe."One, that gives the company an incentive to get going on this very quickly,” Benza said.Attorney General Dave Yost sued the company earlier this month.
