our Free Guide to Wildfire Recovery
In the aftermath of a devastating wildfire, home, property and business owners often find that they are underinsured for the damages caused by such an intense blaze. In cases where local power companies are found liable for the fire, survivors may be compensated by the company for the damages they caused.
To better understand this process, we put together a guide to wildfire recovery that you can download to help you navigate this complex process with clarity and confidence.
We Don’t Just Claim Experience;
We Deliver It.
Our attorneys have led every phase of California wildfire cases—from discovery and expert consultations to trial presentation. Unlike most attorneys with “wildfire experience,” we’ve been directly involved in developing case themes, conducting depositions, and driving discovery.
While many wildfire attorneys take on large volumes of clients, we intentionally limit our caseload to ensure each client receives the attention they deserve. We know what it takes to maximize recovery—and we don’t delegate that responsibility. Our attorneys personally handle every detail to build the strongest possible case.
You deserve more than representation—you deserve attorneys who are personally invested in your case from start to finish.

Will Insurance Cover the Losses for Altadena Fire Survivors?
Victims who have lost their homes due to the recent wildfires are coming to a devastating realization, that their homeowner’s insurance may not provide enough insurance coverage to cover all their damages.
Although the causes of the fires are still under investigation, our investigation leads us to believe that negligence on the part of Southern California Edison Company contributed to these catastrophic events.
If the utility company is even partially responsible, you have the right to recover money as compensation for your damages, such as:
• Damage to a home and/or adjacent structures;
• Damage to personal property;
• Damage to a commercial use structure;
• Damage or loss of agricultural property and products;
• Loss of business or agricultural income;
• Bodily injury; and
• Wrongful death.
The unfortunate truth is that most insurance policies–even the most comprehensive ones–do not cover all of the damages wildfire survivors face. Damage to fencing structures, irrigation systems, and expensive landscaping could very well not be covered by many insurance policies. Additionally, claims for emotional distress and fleeing the zone of the danger can only be recovered against the utility company and/or its subcontractors.
