The Legality of the North Bay Fires 2017
The North Bay Fires of 2017 left an indelible mark on the communities of Northern California, forever changing the lives of residents and businesses in the region. The preventable disaster took 40 lives and caused property damage from which many victims may never recover.
At our law office, our experienced California fire attorneys have advocated for the rights of individuals and entities affected by this devastating event. Below is more information about the North Bay Fires, the aftermath, and the avenues available to seek justice and compensation.
Unprecedented Devastation
In October 2017, 12 wildfires ravaged Napa, Sonoma, and other North Bay counties. The scale and intensity of these fires were unprecedented, resulting in the loss of numerous homes, businesses, and irreplaceable belongings. The impact on individuals and communities was profound, necessitating swift action.
What Was the Cause of the Wildfire?
Investigations reveal that trees falling onto PG&E power lines were the primary cause of the fires. We know several California natives affected by this disaster, which is why we were happy to help victims fight back. Our law firm has active cases for three of these blazes—Atlas, Napa Valley, and Redwood Valley.
What Argument Do You Have in Wildfire Cases?
The North Bay Fires impacted thousands of homeowners, business owners, and other property managers who call the area home. However, help is right around the corner. PG&E may be held accountable for many types of damages, including:
- Physical Injuries: Bodily harm suffered during the fire or in its aftermath.
- Environmental Impact: Damage to land, trees, crops, and other natural resources.
- Evacuation Expenses: Costs incurred due to the mandatory evacuation orders.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Inability to utilize and enjoy your property as before.
