In Re: PacifiCorp Trial 16

Summary

In this damages case against electric company PacifiCorp, plaintiff property owners seek to recover for losses they say they suffered in the widespread, 2020 "Labor Day Fire" in Oregon. A jury in an earlier case found defendant responsible for the fire because defendant failed to deactivate its power lines during a severe wind storm, causing the lines to ignite. Defendant maintains they had no duty to deactivate the lines.
