Eaton Fire May Have Been Caused by Faulty Power Lines

Holding Those Responsible Accountable
CaseyGerry is representing those impacted by the Eaton Fire. Our firm works tirelessly to investigate wildfire incidents, pinpoint the cause, and hold responsible parties accountable for the devastation and lifelong effects of such disasters.
The Eaton Fire is still under investigation; however, there is reason to believe that a high-voltage power line may have ignited the fire.
According to ABC Los Angeles, witness accounts and surveillance video suggest that a downed power line owned by Southern California Edison (SCE) may have sparked the fire.
Some of California’s most devastating wildfires have been caused by faulty equipment or negligence by utility companies.
At CaseyGerry, we specialize in fire-related litigation. Our team works tirelessly to investigate these incidents, uncover the truth, and hold responsible parties accountable. We have represented victims against powerful utility companies, government entities, and others and are committed to seeking justice for those impacted.
Our firm has advocated for victims of several catastrophic California fires, including the Butte County Camp Fire (2018), the North Bay Fires (2017), and others. Recently, we have helped over 1,200 fire victims and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients.
Recovering after a wildfire is overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our experienced attorneys can assist with pursuing legal action against negligent parties to recover damages for property loss, medical expenses, and emotional suffering.
