SEATTLE (AP) — Amtrak has agreed to pay an ex-engineer for his pain and suffering caused by a 2017 derailment when his train sped off a curve in DuPont, Washington, killing three people and injuring dozens. The Seattle Times reports Minneapolis lawyer Fred Bremseth described the settlement as large, saying Steven Brown and his family will be taken care of for life. The settlement amount is undisclosed, according to the agreement filed Friday in Pierce County Superior Court. Bremseth, whose firm handled the case, said they think that it substantiates that it is Amtrak’s fault and not Mr. Brown’s. An Amtrak spokesperson said Monday the company had no comment.
