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, Californiaa s largest utility, for losses in the worst wild fire disaster in California history. The famous attorney was publicly calling on the statea s 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.
