Wildfire Lawsuits We Handle
Our wildfire lawyers can help or have already helped people who were affected by these wildfires and more:
- 2023 Maui Fire: In what has been called the “largest natural disaster in Hawaii’s state history,” the 2023 Maui Fire claimed more than 100 lives, turned entire neighborhoods in Maui and Lahaina into ash, and left thousands of others without power for days. The Maui Fire Department and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) both concluded that reignited powerlines operated by Hawaiian Electric were the cause of the deadly blaze.
- 2025 Palisades and Eaton Fires: On January 7, 2025, two massively destructive wildfires began in the greater Los Angeles County area of Southern California: the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire. Between the two fires, dozens of people lost their lives and more than 10,000 structures were completely destroyed. The Eaton Fire has been linked to a powerline maintained by Southern California Edison (SCE).
- 2018 Camp Fire: Our firm represented victims of numerous wildfires in Southern California that were linked to Pacific Gas & Electric (PGE) negligence, including the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise that ended nearly 100 lives, displaced more than 50,000 people, and destroyed more than 18,000 structures.
Who Can File a Wildfire Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a wildfire lawsuit if a wildfire started by negligence caused you to:
- Lose a loved one
- Lose your home
- Lose your business or overall business value
- Move out of your home or be displaced for a significant amount of time
- Spend money to relocate or evacuate
Who is Liable for Wildfire Damages?
As mentioned, most wildfire lawsuits are filed against utility companies that fail to properly maintain their powerlines and energy systems. Time and again, investigations into some of the worst fires in recent history have evidence that a downed or damaged powerline was not de-energized properly, likely resulting in a fast-spreading wildfire. If a utility company did not take proper and reasonable steps to reduce the risk of fires being started by their equipment, it is only right to file claims against them in pursuit of justice and damages.
