The Boyk Brief: NEW! Episode 47 with East Palestine
Attorneys Chuck Boyk and Wes Merillat talk about the fallout from the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment that happened on February 3, 2023. A Norfolk Southern train carrying over 100,000 gallons of ultra-toxic and dangerous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. The derailment resulted in a massive inferno, spewing poisonous fumes into the air. The images grabbed the nation’s attention and put a spotlight on the safety practices of the railroad industry.
The hazardous chemicals and pollutants from the derailment pose serious future health risks to people in surrounding communities. The derailment also wreaked financial harm on businesses, farmers, and property owners. Some estimate that more than a half million individuals have been adversely impacted.
Our firm currently represents business owners, property owners, and individuals forced to leave their homes. We are committed to holding Norfolk Southern fully accountable for the harm it negligently caused.
Boyk Law attorney Wes Merillat was selected for a team of complex litigation attorneys to lead and oversee the coordinated class action.
