Personal Injury Lawsuits Allowed for Train Derailments

Legislation passed by Congress, which entitles victims of train derailments to sue for personal injury, has been upheld in a federal appeals court. The decision comes following a deadly derailment in North Dakota.

The ruling makes possible the likelihood of residents of Minot, ND., reviving personal injury lawsuits against Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd, resulting from a derailment on the western edge of the city in 2002.

I was downtown when this derailment happened. I escaped on foot through clouds of anhydrous ammonia. I’ve suffered sever anxiety disorder since then. I never realized my issue stemmed from this incident till now. I remember signing a medical wavor because I was young and dumb and had not really started to feel the panic attacks that came later and are present to this day. I’ve read a settlement was reached and was wonder if I’m entitled to any of that settlement money.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
