California Woolsey Fire Attorneys

We’re Fighting for Justice for Those Who Suffered Losses in the Dangerous Woolsey Fire

Named one of the most destructive wildfires in California history, the Woolsey Fire burned almost 100,000 acres of land in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Hundreds of thousands were forced to evacuate when it threatened their communities. The fire destroyed 1,643 structures, most of them homes, and damaged another 364.

Altogether, it took weeks for the Woolsey Fire to be put out, and in that time, many families’ lives changed forever. Investigations have revealed that SoCal Edison’s equipment sparked the Woolsey Fire.

For the victims who suffered losses due to this blaze, there is sadly nothing that can bring back the homes and memories that burned. However, we can fight to hold SoCal Edison responsible for its role in starting the Woolsey Fire. Reach out to our attorneys to learn how we can help you file for compensation if you were affected.

Know If You’re Eligible to File

When it comes to filing a suit against a negligent company like SoCal Edison, there may be some similarities to filing an insurance claim, but there are major differences as well. First, it doesn’t matter if you had any personal insurance policy for the building(s) or land that was affected by the fire—you can file for damages either way.

Second, you may be able to recover much more through a lawsuit than an insurance settlement. Insurance policies typically come with deductibles and limits; a claim for damages has neither. Additionally, insurers may not cover all the types of expenses you’ve incurred, depending on policy exclusions.

Even if you’ve already made an insurance claim, we urge you to reach out to our legal team to learn how you can file for damages against SoCal Edison. We want to help you maximize your compensation, so you are able to rebuild the life you want.
