San Francisco, CA: A lawsuit seeking class action status has been filed against Pacific Gas & Electric Company arising out of the devastating explosion and fire in San Bruno, California. Filed in San Mateo State Court in California, the complaint seeks class wide damages and the immediate release by PG&E of the "One Hundred Million-Dollar Fund" promised by PG&E to the San Bruno community and its residents.
As alleged in the filed class action complaint, the plaintiff, a resident of San Bruno, seeks to represent the San Bruno community as a whole impacted by the San Bruno Explosion and Fire, including homeowners, renters and small businesses.
As has been reported, the explosion appears to be the result of lack of proper precautions and updates to PG&E gas pipes that run through and near residential areas of San Bruno. At least 37 homes have been reported to be totally uninhabitable and residents of San Bruno in the surrounding areas had to flee their homes due to the explosion and fire. The suit seeks relief for injuries and damages caused by September 9th San Bruno Pacific Gas & Electric Company explosion and fire, including immediate placement of the "$100 Million Dollar Fund" in a Court Supervised Trust Account.
