Customers sue JCP&L for outages after Hurricane Sandy | NJ.com:

"Twenty customers of Jersey Central Power & Light have filed suit against the utility for damages that resulted from losing power after Hurricane Sandy hit.
The Somerville attorney behind the allegations of negligence and consumer fraud filed today against the utility and its parent company FirstEnergy said he hopes the court grants class action status for the lawsuit so many more customers can join in.
"The real problem here is in the past year, 365 days, we’ve had two of these happen. As long as people say it’s OK, it will continue to happen more often and more often," said Britt Simon, who filed the suit and is also a plaintiff.
JCP&L spokesman Ron Morano said today he couldn’t comment on the suit, but called Sandy the worst storm in the company’s history."
