PARKINSON BENSON POTTER | an association of independent trial lawyersEaton Fire Lawyers

Our Eaton Fire Lawyers stand at the forefront of wildfire litigation in California, leading 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 wake of the Eaton Fire, which began on the evening of January 7, 2025, in Eaton Canyon within the San Gabriel Mountains, communities in the Altadena area of Los Angeles County are grappling with the devastation caused by this fire.

This wind-driven fire has rapidly spread, impacting areas near Altadena Drive and Midwick Drive. As of January 8th, the fire has burned approximately 10,600 acres with 0% containment. The fire has resulted in evacuation warnings, damage to structures, school closures within the Pasadena Unified School District, and a “Do Not Drink” order for parts of the Pasadena Water and Power water system due to potential contamination. Multiple agencies are currently battling the blaze, which is fueled by strong winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation.

The cause of the Eaton Fire is currently under active investigation, and our law firm is prepared to support individuals and families affected by this disaster. We are committed to providing compassionate and effective legal assistance during these challenging times. If a third party is found responsible for the fire, you may be entitled to damages beyond what your insurance covers. Many insurance policies fall short in covering underinsured homes, and natural vegetation not part of the landscaping.  And, no insurance company covers the emotional upheaval caused by the fire. If you or your loved ones have been impacted, please reach out to us for guidance and support. We are committed to helping you navigate these complexities 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.
