Our Palisades Fire Lawyers are leaders in wildfire litigation in California, handling some of the state’s largest and most complex cases. With over 30 years of collective experience, we have successfully represented more than 3,000 clients, recovering over $1 billion for those affected by wildfires caused by third-party negligence.

In the aftermath of the Palisades Fire, which began on the evening of January 7, 2025, in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, communities are grappling with the devastation caused by this disaster.

This wind-driven fire has spread rapidly, impacting areas near Sunset Boulevard, Topanga Canyon, and Palisades Charter High School. As of January 8, 2025, the fire has burned approximately 15,000 acres and remains 0% contained. The fire has led to evacuation warnings, damage to structures, school closures within the Los Angeles Unified School District, and potential disruptions to essential services like power and water. Multiple agencies are actively battling the blaze, which is fueled by strong winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation.

Initial investigations suggest that a responsible party may have contributed to the Palisades Fire. Our law firm stands ready to assist individuals and families affected by this tragedy. If a third party is found liable for the fire, you may be entitled to compensation beyond what your insurance policy provides. Many insurance policies fail to fully cover underinsured homes and natural vegetation outside of landscaped areas. Additionally, no insurance covers the emotional toll caused by such disasters.

If you or your loved ones have been affected, please contact us for guidance and support. We are dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges and secure the compensation you deserve.

If you or a loved one has been a victim of a wildfire, we will seek damages on your behalf for the losses you have incurred with absolutely no up-front expenses from you, and no costs unless you win.
