Palisades Fire Lawsuit 

On January 7, 2025, the Palisades fire ripped through the area, leaving many homeowners, business owners, and renters with major losses. The fire began on the 1100 block of North Piedra Morada Drive and spread quickly due to the extremely dry conditions and winds in the area. Ultimately leaving 12,000 acres of damage and 9,000 structures devastated in its wake.   

The Cause of the Fire 

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). There is a possibility it was caused by a fault from a utility company, and both Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison are being investigated in connection with the incident.

What Compensation Could You Receive?   

If you were impacted by the recent Palisade wildfires, you may be entitled to compensation to help recover from the losses you’ve experienced. The amount you could potentially receive depends on the specifics of your case. To start evaluating your options, we encourage you to complete a case review form. Here’s a breakdown of potential damages that could qualify for compensation: 

• Injury-Related Compensation: If you or a loved one sustained injuries due to the wildfire, you may be eligible for compensation covering medical bills, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment, and even pain and suffering. These types of claims account for both immediate and long-term medical expenses linked to the injuries caused by the fire. 
• Lost Income and Wages: For those unable to work as a result of fire-related injuries, business closures, or mandatory evacuations, compensation for lost wages is possible. This could include wages lost during hospitalization, recovery, or evacuation periods. If your business faced interruptions or closures due to the wildfire, there may also be compensation for those lost earnings. 
• Property and Home Damage: The fire may have destroyed or damaged your property. If this is the case, you could be compensated for the repair or full replacement of your home, business, or other personal property. The compensation will depend on the extent of the damage, but it could also cover additional costs such as cleanup or debris removal if your property was severely affected. 
• Evacuation and Relocation Expenses: If you were forced to evacuate your home or business due to the fire, financial support may be available to help with relocation or temporary housing costs. These expenses can include lodging, travel, and any other essential needs that arose as a result of the evacuation. 

The aftermath of a wildfire is a traumatic experience whether you're dealing with physical injuries, destroyed property, or the loss of business income. And it’s especially frustrating when insurance companies delay or deny claims. That’s why we’re here to stand by you and advocate for your rights, ensuring you receive fair compensation that supports your recovery and allows you to rebuild your life with confidence. 

Additionally, California has taken steps to assist wildfire victims through the California Wildfire Fund, a $21 billion initiative established in 2019. This fund is designed to provide faster, more efficient compensation for those affected by fires caused by utility companies, like Pacific Gas & Electric or Southern California Edison. If these companies are determined to be responsible for the Palisade fire, this fund could accelerate the process of recovery and compensation.
