Albert Farrah Approved As Plaintiffs'
Steering Committee Member In $143 Million
Columbia Gas Consolidated Class Action Litigation
After more than six months of intensive mediation and negotiation, lawyers representing residents and businesses of Lawrence, Andover and North Andover, Massachusetts, successfully settled claims for persons and businesses affected by the September 13, 2018, Merrimack Valley gas explosions.
Albert Farrah was chosen by his peers to act as a member of the court-approved Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee, leading the consolidated class action lawsuit against Columbia Gas and others.
This recovery, the largest class action payment ever in a Massachusetts state court action, is separate from the money paid to the towns to cover infrastructure repairs and other expenses, as well as from the individual claims involving personal injuries and wrongful death.
This settlement, that has now received final court approval, the capstone on a $1.6 billion restoration of the affected communities.
