Environmental Catastrophes

A leader in plaintiff-side litigation, G&E’s skilled mass tort attorneys have the experience and reputation to litigate against some of the world’s largest corporations and deliver strong results on behalf of our clients. G&E obtained a $143 million settlement in a class action representing residents and businesses harmed by the catastrophic gas explosions in Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts, caused by the negligence of Columbia Gas and NiSource. G&E served as court-appointed Co-Lead counsel and Chair of the Insurance Committee in this litigation.

G&E also represented victims of the Paradise, California Wildfires, which devastated lives of thousands of people and destroyed thousands of buildings—plaintiffs alleged that the wildfires were sparked by aging, unsafe electrical infrastructure maintained by Pacific Gas & Electric.

Additionally, G&E was appointed co-lead interim class counsel in the In re East Palestine Train Derailment cases, representing individuals harmed by the Norfolk Southern train derailment and explosion in East Palestine, Ohio, which released a cloud of carcinogenic vinyl chloride into the surrounding area.
