This is the official website for the proposed class action settlement in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles for the property damage claims against Defendants Southern California Gas Company and Sempra Energy arising from the gas leak from Well SS-25 that was discovered on October 23, 2015.

Persons and/or businesses that owned or leased real property within five miles of Well SS-25 at any time between October 23, 2015 and February 18, 2016 are Class Members in the Settlement Class. Persons or businesses that filed an individual action against the Defendants that has been coordinated with other cases in the Southern California Gas Leak Cases, JCCP No. 4861, are excluded from the Settlement Class. If you received a postcard about the proposed settlement in the mail, then you likely meet the criteria for being a Class Member.

If the Court grants Final Approval of the Settlement Agreement and other contingencies are met, the Defendants will pay $40,000,000 to cover class representative service awards, attorneys fees and litigation costs, costs of Class notice and settlement administration, and payments to Class Members. Each Class Member who has not opted out from the Class will be eligible to receive a settlement benefit payment in an amount that represents a pro rata share per eligible property of the settlement fund.
