Human Negligence or Intention

Negligence vs. Intentional Misconduct in Wildfire Cases

In wildfires, wrongful conduct can occur due to negligence or intentional misconduct.

Negligence can happen when individuals or companies fail to take reasonable precautions to prevent fires, such as failing to maintain electrical equipment or clear brush from their property.

Intentional misconduct, on the other hand, occurs when someone intentionally starts a fire or engages in arson.

Whether the wrongful conduct is treated as negligence or intentional misconduct, our attorneys have experience handling both cases. As a result, they can help you navigate the legal process for the best possible outcome.
