The Erin Brockovich PG&E Case

The sore I use was from the website chasing the frog .com it has a Erin Brockovich story that says some things she said on what the story that the movie is based on. It says that in 1996 PG&E on the settlement with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company that settled the case for $333 million. It says that this settlement was the largest settlement ever awarded in a direct-action lawsuit in the history of the United States. The same as in the movie it says the lawyers did get 40% that came to the amount of $133 million. Some of the victims were not happy that they received $300,000 each, after they were billed an extra $10 million for undetailed expenses and PG&E. But some had received less and others had received millions. It said that the reason why they had received that much was because of their medical records but the medical records were never looked at, said Carol Smith one of the victims after talking to his doctors then some of the plaintiffs their settlements, to seek the amount that they felt were more justified. As on Awesome story.com said that PG&E were required to clean up the environment and to stop using chromium 6.
The plaintiff lawyer did good work and that Erin Brockovich was the person to bring the case all together. She was the one that cared the most about the case and gathered most of the evidence to support the PG&E case. Not how the movie said it but she did other thing to get what she needed for the case as you can read about her other cases too. That some in the movie are true but most of the movie is a lie they burg the essence of the case but the sugar coded something to try it sound not so bad. There is more to this store I know but this is all I could find. You could look and more of the true of the Anderson v. PG&E case.

About Follow the Money: Can Group Medical Plans Enforce Their Reimbursement Rights under the ERISA .This article talk about the U.S Employee Retirement Income Security Act and how the U.S in order to evaluate whether employer-sponsored medical plans reimbursement is enforceable. The article discusses the U.S Supreme Court cases of Verity Corp.

Hi, My name is Michael Warfield I am a video student at AI. I plan to become a director and to start off doing some short comedy films and as i learn more I will find my own thing like all directors do. I want to all maybe want to become a singer one day and build my own record company and direct my own music and to make my own beats and to make some for other Artist to. I see so many artist straggle to make in the music industry and that's why i want to know how to do all the behind the scenes stuff so when other artist come to me.

Also here are some things I like to do on my free time. I like to hang out with friends and family. For example, doing things like going to the mall or just to chill and make jokes or act silly. I like to try practice my craft and try to write a song or make a sort little comedy video of me and friends and family. I like to try to keep fit just so I so can keep my average.

I going to tell some things I have done in my life so far. For example I went to Disneyland with my family on vacation one time. It was fun at first and we did things like ride The Tower Of Tare and the big mickey head ride the. But then we went to go on a water ride they had there and so we were on the ride going the ride gets stuck and we set there for about 2 hours waiting for someone to get us off the ride that was one of my memories I’ve will never forget.

Other thing I would after I graduate from video production is to go back so I could work on having a men fashion line. I can already draw, but to learn the other things that go into building a fashion but don’t know what it will be called yet. But you would know if you hear about it.

Right now I still live with my mom, but I plan to move out when I graduate and stay in Vegas till I work and make some money then move somewhere that I can better pursue my career. I also want to try to put a lot of time in my work but I’m going to start doing that now.

One of my favorite to be continued
