How We Can Help Fire Victims

Thank you for trusting us to assist you during this difficult time. We have years of fire litigation experience and work to hold those responsible for causing fires accountable. Our goal is to help you rebuild as much as possible of what was lost.

Insurance Support: You may have insurance for your property and belongings, which can help rebuild.. However, we work to ensure you are fully compensated, as insurance often leaves gaps—or, if you are uninsured, to cover your total losses. Please note that we do not handle disputes with insurers, but we can refer you to someone for insurance-related claims.
Investigating Liability: Our focus is on holding responsible parties accountable. Once state agencies complete their investigations, we will pursue justice for you, whether the responsible party is a utility company or a government entity.
Compensation Claims: We aim to ensure you are made whole, covering property damage, injuries, lost income, and emotional distress. Cases involving significant injuries or deaths will be handled with particular care.

This may be a long process, but we are committed to working every step of the way to fight for your rights and compensation. Starting your case now allows us to assess damages, gather experts, and prepare effectively.
