What happened

A proposed class action against The Central Railroad Company of Indiana, apparently alleging personal injuries and other harms from exposure to hazardous chemicals. The docket indicates related defendants including INEOS Styrolution America LLC and INEOS ABS (USA) LLC, and the court recently remanded the case to state court. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
