New York (CNN) -- It has been more than two weeks since Superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast, yet many still remain without power. Two residents of New York's Long Island are going to court declaring, in effect, they've had enough. A lawsuit filed Tuesday by the two residents charges the area's main electricity providers -- Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) and its partner National Grid -- committed "gross negligence, breach of contract, and fraud," according to attorney Ken Mollins, who is representing the plaintiffs. Although the suit, which does not seeks specific damages but calls on the court to award "a sum to be determined at trial," was filed by two individuals, Mollins entered the claim as a class-action, which would allow other residents to join as plaintiffs.
