Wrongful death suit filed against PG&E in San Francisco Superior Court over San Bruno blast
I just returned from Los Angeles and am back in San Francisco. Life and injurycan change and death can come in a moment. There was nothing Jessica Morales could have done, nothing she could have foreseen, to warn her of what was coming on Sept. 9th.
Just twenty-years-old, Morales worked part time at a San Bruno ice cream shop and attended classes at San Francisco’s Academy of Art University.
On Sept. 9 she was visiting her boyfriend at 1701 Earl St. when a Pacific Gas and Electric gas line exploded. Fire erupted in the home. For his part, Morales escaped the home, running to a neighboring property, 1711 Earl St. Her burned body and injury was discovered the next day in a shed outside of the property. I wonder if the attorney general will get more involved.
Parents of Jessica Morales filed a wrongful death lawsuit against PG&E yesterday, Jan. 27, 2011. Eight others also died n the Sept. 9 natural gas line explosion and fire in San Bruno. Someone may also need a good San Francisco criminal defense attorney before this is all over, but we will see.
Rene and Israel Morales filed the lawsuit via their attorney with the San Francisco Superior Court Wednesday, alleging “negligence and ultra-hazardous and abnormally dangerous activity” against PG&E, which is responsible for the pipeline that exploded that day.
Morales was one of eight lives lost, but the explosion but there were also a number of others who were injured by the explosion which also destroyed 38 homes and damaged 62 more.
Attorney John Feder is representing the family. Feder released a statement which said; “Jessica’s death has devastated the Morales family……” All in all this reminds me of a case in New York City from a while back. Speaking of that, if you are in need of a superb Los Angeles Injury attorney then by all means take a look at this leading firm. They also do accident in addition to the aforementioned criminal defense related stuff and are based in Los Angeles.
While most of the lawsuits have been filed in San Mateo County, this one was filed in San Francisco. Feder was not available to comment on the reason, but PG&E does have its headquarters in the city.
In addition to the Morales lawsuit, two lawsuits have been filed for the loss of three of the Bullis family, who lived at 1690 Claremont Drive, died in the explosion.
Susan Bullis, wife of Gregory and mother to 17-year-old William, filed a lawsuit. Janine Bullis, who lost her brother, father, and grandmother is also suing.
