Schedule a Consultation to Discuss Your Potential Mill Fire Claims
Our Mill Fire Lawyers have spearheaded some of the largest wildfire litigation in California and have represented over 5,000 individuals and business owners who lost homes and/or had property destroyed by California wildfires started through the negligence of a third party.
On Friday, September 2, 2022 at approximately 12:49 pm, firefighters responded to a newly reported wildfire “Mill Fire” near Woodridge Court and Woodridge Way in the city of Weed, Siskiyou County, California.
Multiple media outlets said the Mill Fire started in the area of the Roseburg Forest Products mill. Cal Fire could not confirm this and said the exact location where the Mill Fire started and the cause is under investigation.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency late Friday 9/2/22 for Siskiyou County, confirming an undisclosed amount of homes had been destroyed due to the Mill wildfire, and stating that more than 5,000 residents from the communities of Weed, Little Shastina, and Edgewood were being put under evacuation orders.
The cause remains under investigation. If a third-party is found to be responsible for causing the fire, you may be entitled to damages that your insurance – even good insurance — won’t cover. In addition to underinsured homes, most insurance policies don’t cover natural vegetation that is not part of the landscaping, or compensation for you or your family for the emotional upheaval caused by the Mill Fire.

Common Misconceptions:
Who Is Eligible to File a Claim?
Mill Fire survivors may not realize they can file a claim. Here are some common misconceptions about who is eligible for recovery:
False: Only Business Owners and Homeowners Can File Claims
It is NOT true that you can only file a claim if you owned a business or home that burned down.
You can file a claim for a number of reasons, including the loss of a rental home, personal property loss, and adverse health effects caused by the fire.
False: Only Insured Individuals Can File Claims
It is NOT true that only those with insurance policies can file claims.
This is a court claim against a utility company that is unrelated to your insurance coverage. You can file a claim whether or not your losses have been compensated by insurance.
False: Only Documented Losses Can Be Filed
It is NOT true that you must provide proof for every item lost in a fire.
You may be eligible to file regardless of whether you have the relevant documentation. In fact, the simple truth that you had to evacuate the fire may be sufficient to support your claim.
False: Only Cases of Wrongful Death and Injury Can Be Filed
It is NOT true that you can only file a claim if you have lost a family member or suffered a physical injury.
Other causes for submitting a claim may include fire-related damage to your home or loss of personal items.

What Our Clients Say
MILL FIRE LAWYERS
The Mill Fire Potentially Began on the Property of Roseburg Forest Products
The Mill Fire potentially began at an old mill building on the property of Roseburg Forest Products, a lumber mill north of the town of Weed. The fire spread to nearby vegetation before it quickly burned through homes and prompted evacuation orders for all of Weed and the nearby communities of Lake Shastina and Edgewood.
