The Eaton Fire has left many renters displaced while facing devastating losses, and uncertainty about their rights. It’s important to know that just because a renter didn’t own the property that was damaged, doesn’t mean it wasn’t their home.
If you are a renter affected by the Eaton Fire in Altadena and Pasadena, our legal team is here to support you in seeking justice and potential compensation for your losses. Evidence suggests that sparks from a Southern California Edison powerline tower may have contributed to the fire, which means the utility company could be liable for the devastation.
If you were affected, you may be entitled to compensation for damages, including:
Loss of Personal Property – Fire and smoke damage may have destroyed your belongings, including furniture, electronics, clothing, and other valuables.
Emotional and Physical Distress – The emotional toll of losing your home and the health risks associated with smoke inhalation or other fire-related injuries can be included in your claim.
Medical Expenses – If you have suffered injuries, respiratory issues, or other health complications due to smoke inhalation or fire exposure, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, treatments, and ongoing care.
