Eaton Fire · Homeowners
After the fire, defending your home looks differentand you don’t have to face it alone.
When a wildfire results from someone else’s negligence — a utility that failed to maintain its equipment, a party whose actions created conditions for disaster — the people whose homes were damaged or destroyed have a right to hold that party accountable. That right exists independently of whatever your insurance covers.
Understanding what you’re actually entitled to requires a clear picture of all the options on the table. That’s what we help you find.
What homeowners are facing
What homeowners may be entitled to pursue
A wildfire claim can involve more than one responsible party and more than one legal path. Understanding the full picture — before committing to any single approach — is where an attorney adds the most value.
Negligence liability — a claim outside your insurance policy
If the fire resulted from the negligence of a utility or another responsible party, you may have a legal claim entirely independent of what your insurance covers. Pursuing that claim doesn’t require giving up your insurance recovery — both paths can exist at the same time.
The true cost of rebuilding
What it costs to rebuild your home today — with current materials, labor, and updated code requirements — is often significantly different from the original policy value. An attorney can help you understand whether what you’ve been offered reflects the actual cost.
Displacement and loss of use
The costs of being unable to live in your home — temporary housing, meals, storage, transportation — are real and ongoing losses. How and from whom they are recovered depends on the specific facts of your situation.
Non-economic damages
The loss of a home is not only a financial event. Emotional distress, loss of community, and the disruption to daily life are legally recognized harms in California that may be part of a broader claim against a negligent party.
Working with an attorney doesn’t narrow your options. It makes sure you know what all of them are before any are taken off the table.
Wildfire claims are complicated. What insurance covers, what a negligent party owes you, and what California law provides are three different questions that don’t always have the same answer. An attorney helps you see the full picture — and make sure the decisions you make in the early stages don’t close off paths you didn’t know were open.
There are no fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Reaching out costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
