Ceramfab, Inc Et Al V. Norfolk Southern Corporation Et Al
Three companies, CeramFab, Inc., CeramSource, Inc., and WYG Refractories, LLC, have filed a lawsuit against Norfolk Southern Corporation and Norfolk Southern Railway Company for a train derailment that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio on February 3, 2023. The derailment caused the release of millions of pounds of toxic chemicals into the air, soil, and water, resulting in significant damages to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants were aware of the increased risks of a dangerous event occurring with the train before the derailment but acted in a manner that violated their own internal safety or operating procedures. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for torts to land, lost income, lost property value, lost investment, and lost business opportunities, among other things. The lawsuit includes claims for negligence, strict liability, and private nuisance, and seeks damages for the harm caused by the defendants' actions.
