Who May Be Liable for Damages? 

The wildfire in Pasadena is currently under investigation, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), believes that there are parties who can be held liable for the damages caused by the destructive fires. 

Some of these parties appear to be Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison, as the fires broke out near a high-voltage transmission tower owned by Southern California Edison. Investigators are looking into whether they failed to de-energize power lines, despite the red-flag warnings. 

At the time of the fire, wind speeds reached up to 70+ mph combined with dry conditions, leading to dangerous conditions. 

We are committed to staying up-to-date on the latest developments in the investigation and want to ensure you that we will fight to hold any responsible parties liable for their negligence so you can seek the justice you deserve. 

Could You Be Entitled to Compensation? 

If you were affected by the Pasadena wildfire, whether your home was destroyed or you had to fund evacuation fees, you may be entitled to compensation. 

In 2019, state lawmakers created the $21 billion California Wildfire Fund, offering the potential for speedier and more robust compensation for victims of some utility-caused fires. If Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison are found to be liable for causing the fire it means your compensation can come from the $21 billion California Wildfire Fund, speeding up the recovery of your damages

Possible Damages you can Recover:
