Wilmington gas station files class action lawsuit against Colonial Pipeline

A Wilmington-based gas station has filed a class action lawsuit against Colonial Pipeline after the fuel shortage following a cyber attack on the pipeline in May.

WECT reports that attorneys said more than 11,000 gas stations were impacted, but many of the mom-and-pop style stations were hit hardest.

The goal of this lawsuit is to get “reimbursement for gas station owners losses,” said Joel Rhine, Attorney at Rhine Law Associates.

Attorneys told WECT they anticipate that Colonial Pipeline will file a motion to dismiss the complaint.
