In January 2025, several destructive wildfires affected the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Over 18,000 structures such as businesses and homes were destroyed and at least 29 people were killed as a result. The most significant of these fires included the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires.
The investigation as to the cause of these wildfires remains ongoing. However, power lines operated by Southern California Edison may have contributed to both the Eaton and Hurst fires. Litigation has been initiated against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for the Palisades fire as well.
Even in the wake of devastation, the right to seek justice remains unwavering. Johnson Law Group is working alongside a team of expert investigators to uncover corporate failures that may have contributed to the California wildfires.
Types of Potential injuries
Wildfires can cause a range of serious bodily injuries, from burns and smoke inhalation to long-term respiratory problems and emotional trauma. The intense heat and toxic fumes can lead to life-threatening conditions, while the destruction of homes and property can cause lasting psychological effects. If you’ve been injured in a wildfire, seeking legal help can help secure compensation for medical treatment, recovery, and emotional suffering.
Potential injuries include:
- Personal Injuries like burns, smoke inhalation, death
- Homeowner Property Damage
- Business Interruption/Loss
- Commercial Property Damage
Business interruptions, lost revenue, property damage and personal injuries directly caused by the fires won’t go unchallenged. Johnson Law Group refuses to let families and enterprises be consumed by corporate negligence.
