$7 Million Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Against Minot
The class action lawsuit which was filed in a Federal Court, for a derailment and chemical spill on the edge of Minot five years ago, has received a primary approval for $7 million settlement.
The settlement is for people affected by the derailment who have not filed individual lawsuits. It does not affect the hundreds of people who have individually sued the Calgary, Alberta-based railroad that has its U.S. headquarters in Minneapolis. Settlements also have been reached for most of those people, with the amounts kept private, attorneys said.
Minot residents will be notified of the terms of the deal in the coming months, and will be given the choice of being a part of it or opting out and proceeding against the railroad on their own.
