By having knowledge of the chromium in the water supply, PG&E should have been required to let the people know that were affected by it. By not telling the citizens, they were withholding information that affected these people’s lives. Because a risk was created, consequences came, and nothing was done to prevent such injuries that did occur, PG&E should have been considered negligent.

The California labor lawsuit alleging a number of violations against Synthes will proceed as a class action. Defendants in the suit attempted to prevent class action status – trying to have the two classes decertified after the original lawsuit was filed in December 2011.

The said lawsuit was filed by the Law Office of Brian Fahling. It questioned how Driscoll spent more than US$2 million in donations meant for church planting and a festival, The Christian Post details.

The attempt to link the harm to the behavior of the defendant produced its share of successes and failures for the Schlichtmann team. Not only did the plaintiffs have to prove that the corporations contaminated the water, but they also had to show that the contamination caused the leukemia and the other health problems. To do this they enlisted the help and expertise of numerous doctors and specialists. Naturally the defending side recruited their own set of experts. As in any case, each side is going to have an expert who will refute the testimony of the other side’s expert.

In US litigation, there was a case against Warren M. Anderson Chairman the company CEO and also a criminal lawsuit against Union Carbide since 1989 in India. In 1989 the Indian Supreme Court ruled pointed out that $ 470 million paid to the victim through July 2004 only $ 140 orders have been settled, and the victims were seeking compensation for the incident and for the ongoing environmental contamination. After the accident injury compensation directly related to the appeal was dismissed, the complainant was given the go-ahead to continue their pursuit of property loss on the damage due to contamination from the leaks. In June 2010, a verdict was given which found the Union Carbide India Ltd and its seven executives guilty of

Essentially, if the defendants lose this case, this will set the precedent that people can sue others based on the online reactions to their content. Likewise, another detail that makes this case unique is the cost. The case has been open for nearly a full year now and has cost the defendants over $200,000 and the only reason they were able to pay it was because fellow YouTube content creator, Phillip DeFranco, created a GoFundMe page which raised over $170,000 in donations.
