A class action lawsuit has been filed against FirstEnergy Corporation on behalf of all persons or entities residing in the United States who lost electrical power during the massive energy blackout that began on August 14, 2003 and affected eight American states and part of Canada. The suit claims that FirstEnergy showed reckless disregard for industry by practice, as the company:
1) failed to have a functioning alarm that could have timely alerted controllers to trouble with its power lines;
2) failed to cut back tree limbs that came into contact with power lines, which resulted in the tripping of the power lines; and
3) failed to maintain a failsafe system that could have separated the local system from the rest of the power grid.
The suit is seeking damages for those who suffered injuries, as well as punitive damages against the company for their misconduct.
