TRUSTED WILDFIRE ATTORNEYS
Experienced Wildfire Attorneys Committed to Individualized Attention to Maximize Your Recovery
If there is no recovery, then there are never any fees or costs to you.
We are a team of experienced lawyers that pursue recovery on behalf of fire victims harmed by wildfires caused by major corporations and utility companies. We have joined forces with Hawaii local counsel to represent victims of the devastating Lahaina Fire that ignited on August 8, 2023. Our hearts go out to all that were affected.
Preliminary investigation shows that major utility and communications companies, such as Hawaiian Electric, failed to safely maintain and operate their electrical equipment in the face of red flag warnings and other dangerous conditions which caused the Lahaina Fire to ignite. Those determined to be responsible for causing the fire can be held accountable to pay for your damages.
We understand the magnitude of loss you have suffered and are here to help. In the aftermath of a wildfire, fire victims find themselves overwhelmed with applications for emergency relief and insurance claims, all while trying to re-establish basic living needs. We will help you navigate these processes.
However, the minimal governmental assistance that is available will not come close to covering what you need to rebuild and regain your life. Even if you have insurance, you will almost certainly be underinsured. Insurance companies tend to undervalue property damage, fail to compensate fully for business losses, wrongfully deny claims, delay compensation, and more. We are here to fill in those gaps and ensure that the parties responsible for causing the fire pay the difference.
