Most clients prefer to settle disputes confidentially, outside of court. However, the fastest way to secure a fair out-of-court settlement is by hiring a lawyer with a strong trial reputation. Lawyers without trial experience are often not taken seriously by corporations or insurance companies. By hiring a trial lawyer from the start, you keep your options open to settle or go to trial without needing to change attorneys.
Investigations show the Moss Landing BESS used NMC batteries, which are more prone to thermal instability than safer LFP batteries. These batteries stored improperly in enclosed spaces increased fire risks. Additionally, the outdated fire suppression system failed to stop the fire.
