Who May Be Liable for Damages?
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is only in the initial stages of investigating the causes of the Palisades and Eaton fires that has collectively decimated Los Angeles’ way of life. A conclusive report may identify negligent parties or entities potentially liable for damages.
This isn’t the first time that California wildfires have displaced and destroyed homes and businesses. There could potentially be many responsible parties depending on the outcome of investigations by the ATF and other agencies, including:
- Utility companies: Power lines managed by major California utility companies such as Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison have been linked to previous wildfires. If their equipment or infrastructure caused the LA wildfires, they could be held liable for damages.
- Government agencies: Past California wildfires have resulted from poorly maintained public lands or inadequate prevention measures by government agencies. When this happens, those harmed or suffering incredible losses from the fires may have a legal claim against the responsible agency
Wilshire Law Firm remains committed to staying current on the latest developments in the investigations and will utilize our extensive legal experience to hold any responsible parties accountable for their negligence.
“In the face of adversity, we find strength together, standing for justice, compassion, and hope.”

I definitely recommend Wilshire Law Firm. I really could have not dealt with insurance companies, get all the medical attention that I needed and get a good settlement from the insurance parties without the help and expertise of Wilshire Law Firm and especially Lydia. Thank you
