Seeking Justice for Affected Communities

The recent AIRPORT FIRE, which began in Trabuco Canyon on September 9, 2024, has wreaked havoc across Orange and Riverside Counties, burning over 23,000 acres and threatening thousands of homes. With the fire only 5% contained and continuing to pose significant risks, our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this disaster.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the fire may have been sparked by heavy machinery used by Orange County Public Works to block off unauthorized off-roading areas. Given the severe heatwave and dry conditions, the decision to use such equipment during this critical time appears to have been reckless and ill-advised.

Experienced attorneys ELLIS RICCOBONO, LLP is dedicated to holding those responsible accountable. We are currently investigating how the decision-making process and actions leading up to the fire could have contributed to this tragedy. Those found responsible for causing the fire could be liable for the extensive damages and losses suffered by the affected communities.

ELLIS RICCOBONO, LLP understands the overwhelming nature of the aftermath: dealing with evacuation orders, insurance claims, and the emotional toll of losing your home and possessions. Our goal is to provide you with the support you need to navigate these challenges and to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Even with insurance, many find themselves underinsured and inadequately compensated for their losses. We are here to help bridge that gap and ensure that the responsible parties are held accountable for the full extent of the damages.
