PG&E fire victims trust seeks damages from utility’s directors, officers
The lawsuit claims the North Bay Fires in 2017 and the Camp Fire in 2018 were both the result of “separate and distinct wrongful acts and omissions by the defendants in breach of the defendants’ fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the company.”
A trust representing thousands of victims of fires caused by PG&E Corp. equipment filed an amended complaint Wednesday seeking damages from former company directors and officers.
Represented by a host of law firms led by Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy LLP, the complaints were originally filed as shareholder derivative complaints before PG&E filed for bankruptcy in 2019. The cases were stayed at that time.
