Too many residents have faced the profound impact of wildfires, including loss of homes, belongings, and even severe bodily injury and death. Utility companies in regions susceptible to wildfires have a history of causing these devastating events due to inadequate maintenance of power lines and surrounding vegetation. Our seasoned wildfire attorneys are here to fight for you, establishing the utility’s responsibility and helping you recover the full value of your losses.
If you find yourself without adequate insurance coverage for losses from a wildfire, rest assured that minimal governmental assistance will not suffice for rebuilding and regaining your life. We collaborate with experienced experts in various fields such as reconstruction and rebuild costs, tree valuation, personal property valuation, and economic income losses to ensure you are fully compensated.
Even those with insurance may find themselves under-insured for specific losses or may encounter insurance companies that deny full compensation. These companies often undervalue property, wrongfully deny claims, and delay payouts. Our team is here to fill these gaps, ensuring that responsible utility companies make up the difference. Emotional losses, such as the intense fear associated with being in a “Zone of Danger” or the discomfort of being displaced from your home, are also critical areas for which we seek recovery. We are committed to ensuring that those responsible for the wildfire fully compensate you for all losses suffered.

Many fire victims find themselves without insurance to cover losses from a wildfire. Minimal governmental assistance will not come close to covering what you need to rebuild and regain your life before the fire took it away.
Even if you have insurance, you will almost certainly be underinsured for certain losses or your insurance company may deny the full value you are entitled to recover. Insurance companies tend to undervalue property, wrongfully deny claims, delay compensation, and more. We are here to fill in those gaps and ensure that the party responsible for causing the fire pays the difference.
Insurance companies also do not provide reimbursement for the emotional losses you suffered, including the intense fear of being within the Zone of Danger or the Annoyance and Discomfort you have experienced from being displaced from your home. Indeed, in some cases these emotional losses represent some of the most important areas of damage we will seek recovery for. We are dedicated to ensuring that those responsible for causing the fire fully compensate you for the losses that you suffered.
