Jackson, Mississippi, residents — represented by Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, the Law Office of Larry D. Moffett, Kershaw Talley Barlow and Gibbs Travis — have filed the first federal class action lawsuit for neglect, mismanagement and maintenance failures that have left Jackson-area residents without access to safe running water. The suit, filed in the Southern District of Mississippi, seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages against various government and private engineering defendants. Nashville-based Lieff Cabraser partner Mark P. Chalos says the suit seeks to “bring justice — and safe, clean water — to the Jackson community.” Read more in a press release from the legal team or the court filing.
