Environmental activist lawyer Erin Brockovich was in Sacramento yesterday lending her famous name in support for campfire survivors struggling to get compensation from PG&E, Californiaas largest utility, for losses in the worst wild fire disaster in California history. The famous attorney was publicly calling on the stateas new governor, Gavin Newsome, and state lawmakers, to not let the utility file for bankruptcy. Lawyer Brockovich is questioning whether PG&E actually qualifies for bankruptcy protection. The law firm she represents, believes that PG&E is attempting to use bankruptcy to get out of liability for losses they may be liable for in several major Northern California wildfires over the past two years. PG&E released a press statement saying that they understand and recognize the serious concerns raised by their customers and wildfire victims and acknowledge that while they have made progress, they have a lot more work to do. They also pledge to work with regulators, policymakers, and other stake holders to continue and provide PG&E customers with safe gas and electric services that expect and need during this period.
