Erin Brockovich offers to help families with Berkeley case

US activist Erin Brockovich has offered her assistance to the victims of last week’s balcony collapse in Berkeley and their families.

Ms Brockovich, whose 1993 campaign against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company in Hinkley, California inspired a film starring Julia Roberts, has partnered with Dublin law firm Phelim O’Neill solicitors to offer her assistance.

The offer comes as the father of one of the six victims who lost their lives in the tragedy appealed for investigators to “leave no stone unturned” in their quest to prove the cause of the Berkeley balcony collapse.
