JR West booked 3 billion yen in accident-related losses, including 1.8 billion yen for consolation payments to families of the deceased and the medical treatment of injured passengers.

The accident forced a two-month halt to JR West's train operations on the line between the stations of Amagasaki and Takarazuka until June 18.
